Show Peaceful Sleop Guaranteed to Walker Brothers. ThU fact was demons! rated to u on yesterday, in witnessing tho working work-ing of "Yule timo lock," which Mr. J. Groonhood of Cjvt-rt A Green-hood, Green-hood, Ctiieago, had just applied u tho vault door at Walker Brothers' bank. Those locks, which are popular popu-lar in the east, aro being introduced west of the Missouri. They are simple in their operation, yet are etldctivo and a pretty complete safeguard safe-guard Against burglars. They con tain two sets of fine Ho a M watch movements, each independent of the othor. After they aro adjuaUd and set for a certain hour to lock and unlock, un-lock, tho movement ouly requires to be wound daily, as un ordinary watch, when the machinery, being strong and exact, will ilo its work faithfully aud surely locking the vault at the time set, and not permitting per-mitting it to be unlocked before the hour fixed for the opening; and no power can change it. The combination lock on the safe ia not interfered with, except that it becomes useless (or opeuiug the door bct-veen tho hours fixed for their being closed. A burglar may know the combination aud put it into ab quick use as ho desires, but if he gets 1 into the vault he must wail until the watched tick the hour and he cauuot accelerate their speed. Neither will a pistol pointed at the head ol an unlucky un-lucky cashier Induce him to open the sarc, because if he would it is beyond his power to do so. The prie of these locks is $450. Messrs. Walker Brothers are the first to adopt them in Salt Lake, though it is probable , that other bankers here will seo their j excellence and attaoh them to safe and vault doors. |
