FIRE AND BURG.
LAR ALARM
New and Novel Invention Of ". 6.
Lynch, Of Roanoke Rapids
Explained
ECONOMICAL & EFFECTIVE


Rapids, N. c., is the inventor of
a new and useful fire and burglar
alarm system, and holds with
pride, a set of papers from the
patent office of the United States,
granting him the exclusive right
to manufacture and sell same.
What is claimed for this system
in part is:
/. A source of electrical energy,
an audible signal, a plurality OF
visual signals, conductors elect
rically connecting the audible
and visual signals with the source
of electrical energy, and a plura-
lity of circuit breakers controll-
ing the circuit, a plurality of
conductors independently con-
Meeting each one of the visual
signals with one lead of the
source of energy q conductor
connecting the other lead from
the source Of electrical energy to
the hell a conductor connecting
all of the visual signals with the
other side of the audible signal,
and a plurality of circuit breakers
interposed in the conductors be
tween the source of electrical
energy and the visual signals,
2. Highly inflamable means
normally holding the circuit
breakers in open circuit position,
and yieldable means adapted to
move the circuit breakers to clos
ed circuit position upon the sever
ing of the inflamable means.
An object of equal Importance
with the foregoing was to SO
design the system and apparatus
/ that it might be cheaply manu-
featured. will be durable and
efficient in service, and may be
readily and easily installed on
any premises with a minimum
expenditure of time and labor,
and when once installed, will al
once automatically give notice
of the outbreak of fire through
the audible signal and show its
location through the visual signal
hence, no delay need be eXperlen
ced in locating the fire and eX.
tinguishing same. Said audible
and visual signals may be PLACED
in any desired apartment of the
home, this at the option OF the
owner.
Additional lines may easily bt
extended from the dwelling
house to any outbuildings, sucf
as stables, graneries, barns etc
and will at once give notice o
the existence of fire in any Of
said outbuildings and at thu
same time showing in which
building the fire has occurred
through the audible and visua
signals as before described.
Circuit breakers as above de
scribed in this system have beel
provided with an extra circul
closer independent of the on
provided for fire, that may b.
extended around the rooms con
Meeting with all doors and win
dows, and will give notice of tn
intrusion of any unWelcome IN
truder and a. the same time show
ing through the visual signals i
which room the burglar has enter
. ed, hence you can stand in iron
, of your visual signals in you
sleeping apartment and read tn
route of the unwelcome nigh
, raider throughout the entir
a building as he passes from on
, room to another, and withou
his having the least knowledg
of your whereabouts.
S Such fire and burglar alarl
z systems as has in part been d'
/, scribed are now being manufac
e ured and installed under tf
S personal supervision of the il
g ventor. Don't allow your lit
n innocent children, your wife
e yourself to be cremated in
n fire that may mysteriously brea
s out during a silent hour of Il
u night, when it can be so easi
e prevented by the use of Lynch
e new system of protection.
a How shall we escape, if
e neglect so great salvation; whi'
