Tho new apparatus is the first of its kind in Australia. Immediately a window is smashed steel shutters will drop, and will prevent any thief from crabbing the contents of the window. The apparatus is controlled by photo-electric rays, and no matter , what part of the window is broken, if the continuity of the rays is interfered with the shutters will fall at such & rate that the thief would be in danger of having his arm amputated.
