New Soda-Acid Extinguisher Introduced
A new model two and one-half gallons fire extinguisher of the soda-acid type, termed the Rough Rider, has just been announced by the American-LaFrance and Foamite Corporation.
It is designed to be splashproof. The glass acid bottle is of the double-neck type so as to prevent the acid from coming out of the bottle until the extinguisher is tipped to an agle of over forty-five degrees. This bottle is also provided with a heavy cup-shaped lead stopple which fits snugly over the top of the bottle and can not be easily jolted off. As a further safeguard the discharge pipe on the inside of the extinguisher runs in a half circle around the extinguisher shell.
