old safe literature

[Gary Stephenson]

having a sort / clear out and found these, any info on approximate dating would be nice / appreciated.
Chubb manual of safes and strongrooms, mentions 1968 isolator introduction and some 1973 brochures, so assume 1973 or close after.

Tann anchor reliance book 117 Newgate St London, Would imagine from about 1900 onwards, but not sure how long the Anchor Reliance stuff ran, or how long they were at 117 newgate st.

Chatwood book, nothing in it I can see to help date it.

Hiya Gary, wow- you always trawl up some superb stuff from your clear outs!
Had no idea those chubb manuals existed! And love all the Chatwood stuff.
The fourth chatwood picture with Al Almond (after the explosives attack)looks to be one of their legendary CB Quality safes- an incredible bit of kit that, and overall some superb info and pictures there for the historical record.

Cheers Huw, does anyone know what R.R. could stand for in reference to Chubb safeworks products, seems to be heavy strongroom doors rather than safe products.

And the Chubb service manual

think I have a load of microfilm stuff somewhere that is similar to the service manual, and the odd video tape

Congratulations Gary for having resuscitated the site again - and then some.
To take the Tann Reliance name it came in conjunction with the 1843 Patent No.9963 for the Bank lock with Guarded Lever and to which they Registered the Trade Name Reliance.

The Newgate Street address was given up when the Company was sold to Borewood Holdings around 1970.
