In this Strong Room Mr Chatwood introduced a new principle of lighting and ventilation. The doors of the room are two inches thick of Chatwood's Patent Intersected Steel, and are m duplicate for use m alternate months. In the centre of the Strong Room stands an Hydraulic Elevator, which carrieß the Books and Bullion up into the Bank Room, where it Btands during the day as a bank fixture, at once useful and o) namental. The top of this Elevator is one ef Chatwood's Check Safea, which effectually doseß all the keyholes, and locks out even theperßons having charge of the keys.

Each chamber is lighted and ventilated by one i»f Cbatwood'B Patent Ventilating Lamps, and fitted with interior Safes and Treasury. The floor of this Steel Room is protected by a network ef Chatwood's Patent Hydro-pneumatic Tubes, which, on being tampered with can be made to eound an alarm m Manager's Room and Police Office. One of Chatwood's Patent Hydraulic Elevaters, lifts four tons of Books out of its Strong Room into Bank Room m Accountant's Department, and another one m Transfer Department lifts two tons. The top of thiß latter Elevator is used, to carry heafy stationery to top of building, and suspended tray at bottom serves to carry up and down customers' plate chests from and to plate room m basement. 9 r I 1 \ LIST OP HONOURS & INTERNATIONAL PRIZE MEDALS i r AWARDED FOR CHATWOOD'S SAFES AND LOCKS. r ; 1884, PARIS. — The Academic Nationale Diploma of Honour.
