add to cart   close window

The article discusses the efforts made by the National Board of Underwriters for fire prevention, fire protection and water supply in the army camps. Wooden buildings are protected from the top by the sheet proofing's. The underwriter's Laboratories do their fire test to check the strength and viability of the sheets for fire prevention. The camp is provided with an abundant water supply, with provisions for high-pressure service. As soon as the alarm of fire is turned in, the pumping station promptly increases the pressure in the water mains. The plans for water supply were worked out by the National Board engineers in Washington before the construction began."
