The Storm Manufacturing Co., 320 MARKET STREET, NEWARK, N. J. i Clast ics AT The New York Safety Dumb Waiter. Is first-class in all its appointments, and appeals to the in- telligence of Architects, Builders and owners of Private Dwellings, Hotels and Apartment Houses. It has onlyto be seen to be appreciated, and pronounced the most simple and complete of any of its class. We name a few of its very desirable features, as follows: Fixtures for any size Waiter, Al L ONE SIZE. It is provided with SAFETY ROPE, avoiding accident or break- age in case the hoisting rope breaks from long use. This is a feature so very desirable and also NEW that we call especial attention to it. It is so simple to set up, that any ordinary mechanic, by the aid of our diagrams and instructions, which accompany each set, need never fail to complete it properly. They are packed one complete set in a case. Further and important, they run closer to the ceiling and nearer to the floor than any waiter in market. Each set is provided with a grip, in order that the car when loaded (beyond balance) may be held at any desired point. It MOVES WITH PERFECT EASE, and any child of ten years can operate it. It is absolutely noiseless, and has no parts that are liable to breakage. The ROPES ARE ALWAYS TIGHT, the manner in which the counterpoise weight is attached allowing for either stretch or shrinkage. A full size Diagram accompanies each set of fixtures, showing the position of wheels on top shelf of well hole as usually placed. Special cases are illustrated on page 4 of this catalogue. FIG. 1 shows the Waiter adjusted in position, with ropes and counterpoise weight in place. It is desirable that the wheels E E should be placed on top of the car in such a position that the weight of the car shall be lifted from the center in all cases, to accomplish this, these wheels may be placed diagonally on the car at equal distances from the corners. The COUNTERPOISE WEIGHT should weigh about the same as the com- bined weight of the Car or Box, and the two wheels, E E.— NOT LESS. Always use flat weights. The pulley-block should not be allowed to turn in weight box and twist the rope. The weight box should be of such dimensions as to con- fine the weightfrom turning and still move without fric- tion. 3 JlgS. The New York Safety Dumb Waiter. FIGURE 2 shows the adjustment of the 8 inch wheels A, B, D and C, so as to allow the counter- poise weight to come down in the right hand corner. FIGURE 3 shows the of these same wheels so as to allow the counterpoise weight to come down on the left hand side. By changing the position of the wheels B, D and C, so as to run towards the weight box, the counterpoise weight be made to come in desired place. The New York Safety Dumb Waiter. FIGURE 5, shows the perspective view of the wheels A, B, D, and C, as arranged in most cases, and as also shown in figure 1 . The brake grip at- tachment should always be placed on underside of the shelf on which the fixtures set. See page 1 1, figure 6. In order to have a smooth, easy working Dumb Waiter overcome ail friction in every place possible. FIGURE 7, shows the guide wheels at bottom of waiter and the manner in which they should be boxed in to preventthe rope from running off. The New York Safety Dumb Waiter. For stringing these waiters use 1-2 inch pliable cotton rope, and for safety rope 3-8 inch pliable cotton rope. The fixtures of the NEW YORK SAFETY DUMB WAITERS are made in the best manner possible, and of the best material. They are packed one set in a case, ALL BRONZED, and ready to set up. WE PACK SAMPLES WITH EACH SET OF THE TWO SIZES OF THE MOST DESIRABLE ROPE TO USE. ALWAYS TAKE THE KINK OUTOF THE ROPE BEFORE YOU STRING THE WAITER. THE GUIDE RUNS SHOULD BE 7-8 INCH WIDE BY 1 1-4 INCHES DEEP, AND ARE BETTER IF COATED WITH BLACK LEAD. WE CAN FURNISH THE ROPE AND WEIGHTS IF DESIRED. The set as packed in a case complete, consists of the following pieces : Six 8 inch wheels, two 4 inch wheels one pulley for weight and safety rope, five 1 1-4 inch thimbles, one 3-4 inch thimble, one ring for safety rope, one brake grip, one ring for brake cord, one hooded pulley for grip, one patent plate, four car guides. 6 THE NEW YORK Safety Dumb Waiter Fixtures have been on the market about five years, and are in very general use throughout the United States and Canada and giving universal satisfaction. These fixtures should NOT BE USED FOR WELL HOLES OR OPENINGS LARGER THAN 24 INCHES SQUARE. Price of Fixtures alone, $15.00 per set.

In our Catalogues of previous years, it has been our custom to print a number of testimonials from prominent persons and concerns using and handling our Dumb-Waiter fixtures. On account of the vast number of such, which we have received, and the difficulty of deciding which to use and which not to use, we have concluded best not to print any this year but have issued a special list with the names of several hundred prominent persons, buildings, etc., who are using our fixtures, to any of whom we can refer, and shall be pleased to send this list to any one who may desire it. It thoroughly covers every section of the country, from Boston to San Francisco and from Canada to Texas. On the next page we publish a testimonial of our Ele- vators, from the factory of the well known inventor, Mr. Thomas A. Edison, Harrison, N. J. We have selected this one from many hundred as being from a concern thoroughly well known everywhere. THE STORM MANUFACTURING CO., 320 and 322 Market Street, Newark, N. J. The Manhattan DumbWaiter. This fixture has a ca- pacity of 200 lbs. and is especially intended for use in places where the New York Safety is not heavy enough, such as in Tenement and Apartment houseswhere heavy substances are to be lifted, and wherethe buildings are many sto- ries high. The shafts on these fixtures run on Babbitt Metal Bearings ; they are frictionless and noiseless, are hand- somely bronzed, are perfectly made and warranted in all particu- lars. We make the hoist wheels in three sizes, 20 in. 24 in. and 30 in. The counter- poise weight can run on either side or at back. Use 3-8 inch cable for lifting and 5-8 manilla rope for hand rope. Price $25 per set. These fixtures should not be used in well holes or openings larger than 36 in. square. We also make this as a double faced fixture, with hoist wheels on both ends of the shaft, so that it can be ope- rated from either side onanyfloor. Price $29 per set. These fixtures are adjusted to a 1 1-4 inch shelf ready to place over well hole. PATENT APPLIED FOR. Figure 6.
