so" feet wide, 40" deep, and com
posed Of two classes of steel; one OF
great tensile strength and ductibility
to resist shock Of explosives and the
tearing effect of wedges, screws and
entering vaults; the other of extreme
hardness to resist drills, chisels and
all cutting tools. These materials are
also combined in manner to afford
1 protection against the use of diamond
drills and punches.
i Door UnpickabIe.
/ Interest naturally centers in the pro.
! lection afforded the entrance to the
sault, and the burglar proof door usu-
ally forms the elective point Of attack
Here are shown the very latest ideas
| In design, the highest quality of ma
| terials and the most skilled workman
1 ship, Here are assembled in their
greatest refinement, all the elements
! of protection known to the art, and it
/ is here that the contrast between an
cient and modern construction is most
readily apparent.
The vault door il a splendid example,
Of modern ingenuity and achievement,
! is massive, impregnable, of marvellous
construction, the finest and latest thing
known to the safe making art--offer-
| ing as it does, az formidable barrier
against instrusion as modern genius
and skill can devise. I
The door and vestibule each are
made of single billet steel. This steel
is too hard to be cut and too strong
to be broken even by considerable
charges of dynamite and tro-glycer.
inc. The door will swing upon mas
siye steel crane hinge weighing one
tom
When closed the doors are forced
into place by pressure mechanism
placed upon their faces and the joints
become proof against the entrance of
wedges or liquid explosives.
The door is locked by twenty.four
round steel bolts, projecting from its
four sides, and is further checked by
two dial combination bank locks Of the
highest class, capable of millions of
changes to combination and absolute
ly unpickable. The bolts are again
checked by time lock Of the very
highest quality, which is always on
duty, capabla Of holding the door In
locked condition until the expiration
of the predetermined time for which
it is wound, and Of releasing the guard
mechanism at that time only.
The controlling devices that connect |
the locks with the main boiling sys-
tenn of the doors, are designed to hold
them securely locked, even IL all the |
locks should be blown or otherwise
forced from the door. The bolt work |
on the Otter doors Is covered and pro-
tected from dust by. a handsome
French plate glass door.
The inside finish of the vault is sug- |
gestive of the ideas of massiveness,
solidity and convenience.
The main vault is divided into two
compartments--the larger Of the two
il fitted with three hundred steel safe
deposit boxes with room for several
hundred more, should necessity re-
quire.
The main purpose OF the bank in
this vault security, was the
accommodation of its customers who
desire a receptacle for the safe.keep.i
ing of their yaluahles, papers, etc.
Each box is provided with two keys,
both of which are held by the party
renting the box. The one renting the
box has absolutely exclusive access to
IT, There are no duplicate keys and it
is impossible to make duplicate keys
by impression from the box itself.
These boxes are the most modern
and approved kind. One renting a
box has personal access to 1t. The
bank will furnish convenient booths
Tor private examination of the CON
.ents. Thus the bank Is able TO fur
lish in the matter of safe deposit
,oxes, the safety and convenience
which heretofore the community could
lot secure.
It was the desire Of the bank TO /
rave the strongest vault in the coun
ry, and. have an equipment which
would provide the greaest efficiency of
and include the highest
Iegree Of safeguards.

ANY as delivery is designed to be the
inal word in vault engineering and AT
ords ample protection for the Sc.
urities which the vault contains.
