Excerpt from Handbook of Sprinkler Devices Believing that a description of all the automatic sprinkler devices that are liable to be found in the field would be of service to fire insurance inspectors and others, the author presents herein four chapters from his book on Automatic Sprinkler Protection in handbook form. These chapters cover the following subjects: Alarm Valves, Dry Valves, Sprinkler Supervisory Systems and Automatic Sprinklers. The chapter on the latter subject contains several references to previous pages for a further description of certain devices. These page numbers refer to pages in the complete volume to which the reader is referred for a more extended treatise on the subject. While the subject matter may be somewhat incomplete and disconnected when published in this form it is hoped that it may prove useful to the field man as a reference book.

Excerpt from Agents' and Inspectors Pocket-Book of Fire Protection Since the publication of my Fire Insurance Agents' and Surveyors' Pocket-book of Information in 1896 many new rules and requirements have been adopted by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, and much that is new in the province of fire protection has been learned by investigation and observation, so that it seems proper at this time that I revise my early book and bring it up to date in all respects, and this is what I have sought to do in this present book, trusting that my efforts will meet with the same favorable reception that my previous book had. This book has been written with the idea of presenting existing conditions and their remedies, and not with the purpose of pre senting dry rules and specifications, nor with the purpose of instructing manufacturers what class of construction is necessary for certain appliances; hence the rules pertaining to the con struction of various machines and appliances have not been incorporated herein unless deemed necessary for the needs of inspection, but how the machines or appliances should be set, where they should be located and all the other necessary in formation which an inspector or special agent should have in order to be fully posted as to how a thing should be, and that he may be able to clearly answer all questions that may be asked him in regard to arrangements, locations, etc., of the various appliances, are treated here in a readable, non-technical and, I hope, understandable manner. Every subject cannot be specifically treated in detail, but each subject has been handled in such a way that it is believed that any conditions arising under it can be properly treated from the information here given.

Excerpt from A Benefit-Cost Model of Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems Costs and benefits of owning a system are estimated for selected hypothetical cases pertaining to a new, single-family dwelling in the United States. The estimates are then used to illustrate the model. Minimum or maximum values that key decision variables must take in order for sprinkler systems to be cost effective in the selected applications are calculated through break-even analysis. Related models are developed for evaluating the economic merits of sprinkler systems from the standpoint of developers and local governments. Implications for the research and building communities are discussed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Fire Prevention and Fire Protection In the past too much stress has been laid upon construction only, and fire-resistance has too often been confounded with non-combustibility. Fire-resistance worthy of the appellation must embrace, first, proper planning or design, which is the fire protective feature of paramount importance in theatres, schools, etc.; second, construction; and last, but by no means least, auxiliary equipment to safeguard both the construction employed and the contents of the structure. Without any one of these essentials of fire protection, the fire-resisting qualities of a build ing are questionable, to say the least. The criticism may be made that greater stress should be laid upon a better average of building construction rather than upon high standards of' detail in individual units. The distinction would be that a good average would tend to diminish conflagra tions, but, unless special attention be paid to the details which often constitute the crucial weaknesses in case of fire, separate buildings would still be subject to great damage and loss of life.
