 In presenting you with our Catalogue for 1891, we call 
 your attention to the varied style of Annunciators, Bells, 
 Pushes, Pulls, and other Apparatus illustrated therein. | 
 
 Our goods are so well known for their superiority in 
 workmanship and quality of finish, that it is only neces- 
 sary to say that they will be kept up to our usual standard; 
 and we will make prices as low as consistent with the 
 quality of the goods offered. 
 
 We are at all times endeavoring to reduce the cost of 
 our apparatus without at all allowing the quality to deteri- 
 orate, and will give our customers the benefit of any such 
 reduction that we may be able to make. 
 
 The utility of the Annunciators, Call Bells and other 
 Electric Apparatus for use in Hotels, Residences, Steam-

 HOTEL FIRE ALARM AND ROOM CALL. 
 See Cut, page 7. 
 
 Nothwithstanding all that science and building skill have done during the 
 past few years in the better and safer construction of hotels, there is nothing 
 so much dreaded alike by landlord and guest as fire. 
 
 The many hotel fires in the last few years, with their startling record of 
 lives lost and property destroyed, show conclusively that the most careful 
 watchfulness on the part of the landlord and assistants is not sufficient to 
 prevent their almost periodical occurrence. 
 
 Inventive genius has done much, by the introduction of stand-pipes and 
 fire escapes, to lessen the danger in case of fire, but until the introduction 
 of our 
 
 IMPROVED HOTEL FIRE ALARM, 
 
 no absolutely reliable means had been invented for automatically arousing 
 every sleeping guest in a burning hotel, no matter how large the structure. 
 
 The cut represents our Improved Hotel Fire Alarm and Room Call Appa- 
 ratus, which is placed in the office. In each room of the hotel there is a bell, 
 which is connected with the series of push buttons shown in the cut. By 
 simply releasing a lever or arm, the bell in every room is rung twice during 
 each revolution of the lever, and the revolutions continue until long after 
 every guest has safely left the burning building. 
 
 This system, on account of its ingenigus and reliable construction, can 
 always be depended upon as a fire alarm. No large battery is required to 
 operate it, and its daily use as a Room Call is a constant test of its readiness 
 
 for use in case of fire. 
 
 AS A ROOM CALL. 
 
 The value of this system is not alone in its capacity as a reliable fire 
 alarm. With it, the clerk can instantly answer the call of an impatient guest; 
 can call a guest at any hour, thus avoiding the necessity of sending the porter 
 to rousea sleeping guest by pounding on the door, to the annoyance of the 
 
 occupants of adjoining rooms; or can ascertain at once if a guest is in his 
 
WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY. 8) 
 
 room by simply pressing the button on the Fire Alarm Dial corresponding to 
 the room he desires to call. Our apparatus is so arranged that the call bells in 
 the rooms will give but a single tap when used as a call, and ring as vibrating 
 bells when operated as a fire alarm. : 
 
 The advantages of our system are as follows: 
 
 First—Only five or six cells of battery are necessary to operate all the 
 bells in the largest hotel. This feature is of great importance. A system 
 that requires from fifty to one hundred and fifty cells of battery is liable to 
 be neglected, and in a large house it is almost impossible to test the alarm 
 without disturbing the guests. ° 
 
 Second—aAs only one series of wires is required for the Annunciator and 
 Fire Alarm, a great saving in first cost and also in maintenance is thus assured. 
 
 Third—lIt is the only system in operation where distinct and separate 
 action of the bells is secured—when used as a call, or as a fire alarm. 
 
 Fourth—As no large and expensive battery is required, and no duplicate 
 series of wires necessary to be kept in repair, it is therefore economical. 
 
 Fifth—The fire alarm and lines are tested every time a call is made, 
 either to or from the rooms ; hence it is reliable. 
 
 Sixth—Our system can be connected to the nearest fire-engine house, 
 giving the fire department instant notice when the fire alarm is operated. 
 
 We make our apparatus in two forms, as shown in the illustrations. The 
 combined Annunciator and Fire Alarm Dial makes an elegant piece of office 
 furniture. Where the Annunciator is already in operation we make the Dial as 
 shown in the small cut. 
 
 We connect our system to any make of Electric Annunciator without the 
 necessity of running a new series of wires. We will be pleased to correspond 
 
 with hotel proprietors and others interested in regard to our apparatus.

 ELECTRIC BELLS. 
 
 We manufacture three different styles of Electric Bells: Skeleton, Iron 
 Box and Wooden Box; the skeleton being used for the larger and the box for 
 the smaller sizes of gongs. 
 
 We spare no expense to make them durable and reliable, and to their 
 superiority we attribute much of the success that has attended their use in 
 the past. 
 
 We call particular attention to our new Iron Box Bell No. 1006, and to 
 our new Wood Box Bell No. 51244. These we can recommend for use where 
 a low-priced bell is wanted. 
 
 In cases where the sound of the bell would be louder than desired, we 
 recommend our Buzzer, which produces a humming or buzzing sound, and 
 does not attract the attention that the bell would. Our Turtle Gong and 
 Electro-mechanical Gong are specially designed for loud calls in large halls, 
 at railroad crossings, and for fire alarm purposes, and being thoroughly made, 
 
 are perfectly reliable.

 ELECTRIG GAS-LIGHTING APPARATUS. 
 
 FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS, HALLS, THEATRES, 
 CHURCHES, ETC. 
 
 rQHE Central Apparatus manufactured by us consists of an induction coil 
 with key and circuit breaker, a double bi-chromate battery and a circuit 
 switch, all conveniently placed in a finely finished black walnut case. 
 
 The induction coil we make to meet the requirements of each order, and 
 it is so constructed that there is no likelihood of annoyance from the jumping 
 of the spark. 
 
 Instead of the automatic circuit breaker we use a hand key. In this 
 way the time for applying the spark is completely under the control of the 
 attendant. 
 
 The battery is durable, inexpensive to maintain, and requires but little 
 attention. 
 
 The elements are mounted on hard rubber disks, and can be raised and 
 lowered as desired. 
 
 The switch is mounted on hard rubber base, securing the high insula- 
 tion which is necessary to keep the electric spark within bounds. 
 
 The burner consists of a lava standard and tip, with platinum-pointed 
 electrodes placed over the tip. 
 
 The electrodes of the different burners of a group are connected in series 
 to the switch and the Central Apparatus, so that the spark passes across all 
 
 the burners of a group.

 OUR IMPROVED RATCHET RUTOMATIG. 
 
 (See inside view herewith. ) 
 
 The S. M. Ratchet Automatic No. 4, has recently been materially improved 
 by dispensing with the soft iron base, the contact cam, the rubber bridge, one 
 German silver and two steel springs. In place of the cam, the burner now 
 has two platinum pointed brass pins, which are driven into the gas plug ex- 
 tension. A brass base is substituted for £a (: 
 the soft iron one, and a small rubber in- > Ga 
 sulating block furnishes a foundation for 
 the connection screws. Two flat springs 
 of German silver attached to this block 
 make connection with the brass pins in 
 the gas plug extension, as the ratchet- 
 wheel revolves. 
 
 The current passes through but one coil 
 of the magnet at a time, but energizes both 
 poles. The two coils are energized alter- 
 nately for lighting and extinguishing the 
 gas. 
 
 The simplicity of the improved burner 
 is greatly in its favor, and the positive 
 reliability of the contacts is an important 
 advantage. The peculiar winding renders 
 a comparatively weak current effective in 
 its operation. Patents for these improve- 
 ments pending. 
 
 This burner will be known as ‘‘The Im- ———— : 
 proved Ratchet Automatic No. 4 1-2,’’ and TNO 
 both the old and new styles will be kept in yy i \ 
 stock and sold at the same price.

 ’ s Hy i ” 
 Only one wire is The Triumph uncovered 
 
 showing working parts. 
 
 to button and button to burner. A single push-button both lights and 
 extinguishes the burner. Two of the Triumph Automatics can be placed 
 on a fixture wired for one ordinary automatic, and wires for “pendant” 
 burners can be utilized by simply connecting in a push-button between 
 battery and burner. | 
 
 It lights instantaneously, and vibrates while the finger remains on the 
 button ; a second pressure of same button extinguishes the gas without vibra- 
 tion. Its operation is positive, the electric impulse being sure to leave the 
 gas-way wide open or entirely closed. 
 
 It is simple in construction, does not easily get out of order, requires 
 only minimum battery power, is a third smaller than automatic burners in 
 general use, and unites the highest degree of simplicity, safety, and efficiency. 
 
 What does it signify? Well, less cost and better results to the contractor. 
 Besides the saving in wire and push-buttons or keys the trade price of the 
 
 burner is much less than for old-style automatics.

 ADVICE ABOUT AUTOMATICS. 
 
 This Automatic is adjusted to work on five or 
 six cells of Leclanche or Improved “Law Prism” 
 
 Batteries. Every burner is carefully tested by 
 
 practical use, and put in perfect working order 
 
 before it leaves our salesrooms. 
 
 If an Automatic fails to operate satisfactorily, 
 
 the trouble is very likely to be found in the wiring, 
 
 battery connections or engineering of the job. It 
 
 is oftener the result of rough handling or indis- 
 
 criminate turning of the adjusting screws, twisting 
 
 of electrodes, thumping of armature, etc. If, how- 
 ever, the burner has from any cause become in- 
 operative, and you are unable readily to locate and 
 remove the difficulty, it is generally better to return 
 
 it to us than to attempt to adjust or repair it. Ad- 
 
 vise your customers not to handle or tinker the 
 
 burners.

 ELEGTRIG HAND-LIGHTING GAS 
 BURNERS. 
 
 The Simple Hahd Lighter, 
 
 No. 1, contains no stop-cock, but by 
 the pull of a pending chain the gas 
 is lighted after it is turned on by 
 
 the key in the gas-fixture in the 
 
 ordinary way. It is more especially 
 
 designed for servants’ rooms, 
 
 stores, factories, etc., where a low 
 
 priced burner is required.

 ' The Boston Ratehet Burner. 
 The first pull of the chain turns 
 on the gas through a four way gas- 
 cock governed by a ratchet wheel 
 and pawl. The issuing gas is lighted 
 by a wipe-spark at the tip of the 
 burner. Alternate pulls shut off the 
 
 gas.

 ELECTRIC HAND-LIGHTING GAS BURNERS. 
 
 The Improved Simple Hand-lighter 
 
 Is a compact and easy working burner, deci- 
 dedly the best simple lighter made. Those 
 
 who prefer to turn the gas-key in the usual 
 
 way, and light the gas by pulling the pendant 
 
 chain, will admire this elegant burner.

 The Tip-Top Ratehet Burner, 
 
 No. 7, differs materially in construction from 
 No. 3, but is operated in the same manner by 
 means of a pending chain. In it are em- 
 bodied several improvements of value, and it 
 8 is a remarkably fine worker, which gives the 
 
 most general satisfaction of any ratchet bur- 
 
 ner made. One great advantage is that it 
 always lights under the first pull. 
 
 @!It has recently been improved by dividing 
 the pillar to enable the user to get at and 
 regulate the flame check; and the retractile 
 spring has been so arranged, in connection 
 with the ratchet, as to prevent the possibility 
 of the wheel returning with the movable arm 
 
 after the gas is lighted.

 THE DOUBLE CONTACT RATCHET BURNER, 
 
 No. 11, is similar in style to No. 7, though it has a 
 doubly sure connection of the movable arm with the 
 body of the burner, and thence to the ground, which 
 removes a difficulty that often causes trouble in the use 
 of electric gas-lighting apparatus. Under this method 
 the German silver wipe-spring is thrown out of the 
 flame on its return to position after making and 
 breaking contact at the burner tip. It will doubtless 
 interest electriv contractors to find a burner whose 
 movable electrode cannot be held in the flame “ just for 
 fun,” until it is softened, and so robbed of its tension. 
 This new burner electrode is notlifted over and through 
 the flame, but under and out of the flame. Our burner 
 arm is arranged not only to avoid sparking or catch- 
 ing on the way back to its normal position, but the 
 wipe-spring is preserved and a more positive ground 
 provided. Cut shows the vibrating arm returning after 
 the lighting is accomplished, with its spring point 
 turned away from the fixed electrode and out of the

 THE BILLIARD TABLE BURNERS, Nos. 23 and 24, 
 
 Are the only Electric Gas-burners at all suited for use on billiard tables, and 
 need only to be seen in operation to secure their more general introduction 
 and use. 
 Hitherto the ob-(% 
 jection to Billiard 
 Table Burners has 
 centered in the diffi- 
 culty of so adjusting 
 a shade as to con- 
 centrate the light 
 where desired. 
 This has now been 
 accomplished in our 
 New Billiard Table Burner and Shade Com- 
 bined, which are so arranged as to secure the 
 light where it is wanted, none of the rays 
 being interfered with by the other parts of 
 the apparatus.

 No. 13 has an attachment upon the small

 the burner, consisting of a vibrating arm 
 S with an elongated hole, tripping pin and 
 cam. By the opening movement of the gas- 
 cock the vibrating arm with its elastic con- 
 
 tact point, is forced against and past the 
 
 fixed electrode, tripped and returned by 
 means of the retractile spring, leaving the 
 gas turned on and lighted—a quarter turn of 
 the thumb-cock, backward, extinguishes the 
 gas. The operation is such that short- 
 
 circuiting at the electrodes is next to im- 
 
 possible.

 The leading features are, a jar with shoulder projecting inwards, on the 
 paraftined surface of which a paraffined ring of wood rests, through which 
 the Porous Cup and zine pass. The zinc having a rubber ring both above 
 and below the wooden ring, and the Porous Cup a paraffined shoulder, makes 
 the battery self-sealing. Three holes about half an inch in diameter in the 
 bottom of the Porous Cup, which hangs entirely clear of the bottom, allow the 
 solution to penetrate the ingredients as soon as immersed, and make it quick 
 
 acting. It will give 114g volts E. M. F. within one minute after being con-

 GAUGE FOR TESTING BATTERIES. 
 
 WARNER ELECTRIC GAUGE. 
 
 This Gauge is valuable for testing single cells of a battery. In case of 
 an exhausted or feeble current, touch the terminals of the Gauge to those of

 THE SLIDE SPEAKING-TUBE WHISTLE. 
 
 The Ostrander Slide Whistle has the superior advantages of a prominent 
 and accurate indicator, the wear of the slide being easily taken up without 
 taking down the body, as the front plate unscrews and is not riveted. The 
 mouth-piece is stationary, and the sound is sent direct into the speaking-tube 
 
 without interruption.
