One King West, Toronto

[VaultDoors]

There must be a light source in the Pennsylvania Treasury Vault periscope as the dial appears to be lit:

Attachment 10487

There is a "1" hand and a "2" hand on the dial that I suspect corresponds to each knob and since there are two periscopes this vault actually has four combination locks.

Here is footage of the #2 combination dial pointer in motion: https://www.flickr.com/photos/canton...57639509976233.

Here's a more recent pic of the One King West treasury vault door

I believe the bolt throwing mechanism for the jamb control vault at the PA Federal Reserve Bank is shown bolted to the left side of the door jamb:



I have not seen this in other jamb control vaults so I suspect others were designed with the bolt throwing mechanism mounted on the interior door jamb rather than the side.

Here's a clip of the One King West vault from the movie RED:

You'd think they would have tried to get the missing time lock movement replaced before shooting! They should have called me, I rent props to film studios. My latest was a time like in the new Marvel Comics movie, Ant Man.

One King West's safe deposit vault and National Commercial Bank & Trust are the only known Remote Combo Viewers to have what appears to be a gearbox bolted on the side. All other remote combo vaults (with or without viewers) are flat on the side:



One King West's treasury vault which was designed by the same Engineer (Frederick S. Holmes) and built at the same time, by the same builders (Remington & Sherman Co.) does not have this external gear box. This door is lighter than the safe deposit vault door so maybe that's the reason?



I thought newer designs would cover the external gearing within the RCV unit but if that were the case they would be wider and they are not:



Except for the Cleveland Federal Reserve's RCV which I believe is extra wide to accommodate the pressure plug:

On the two remote combo viewers with external gearboxes, the bolt-throwing handwheels are attached at the bottom of the gearbox. On remote combo vaults (with and without viewers) the bolt-throwing hand wheels are located in the middle of the remote combo unit.

Talking of 1KW, what happened with the styrofoam model you were making?

[RiemannHypothesis]

Hahaha, i asked him the same thing :)

It sounded like a good idea at the time...I soon realized that creating a scale model requires more time and effort than I was willing to invest. After thinking about it a little more, I would rather have a full size Remote Combo Viewer than a scale model vault door. I just need the dimensions so I contacted Matt Black, the Marketing Director for 1KW and asked if I could take dimensions to build a model and he was fine with it. Since Toronto is quite far from AZ, I was hoping an Antique-Locks member in Toronto could go to the 1WK hotel to measure the RCV (and vault doors). If I cannot find a member then I know a 3D printing company in Toronto that can scan the RCV. After plans are developed I will find someone to build it. It will eventually reside in my Bunker (still under construction), I'm just not sure where or how to mount it.



I need to determine the materials - steel, aluminum, or wood that is painted to look like steel.

I also need to determine the level of detail for the model:
Do I really need to show the small screws that fasten the panels?
Do the unmarked knobs need to spin and rotate pointers inside the viewer over a combo dial?
Does the interior need to light up?
Does the bolt-throwing handwheel need to spin?
Does the pressure plug need to move?

I would build it exact if I had the funds but the details can get expensive quick so I need to determine an affordable balance between form and function.
