F Whitfield "The City Safe"

[Gary Stephenson]

Beautiful work.

I thought it might be useful to show the transfer that goes on the inside of the door. I have digitally remastered this as a TIF file, so the rendition shown here is a poor representation of it. I am currently having transparencies made.

I am happy to share this with no copyright, if anyone is interested.

[Steve48]

This is a representation of how the door was originally painted, the colours arent quite right, they were gold stripes, but it is good enough for copying when I find a suitable signwriter.

That's about it for a while, next comes the doing.....

Thank you all for your kind words.

And lastly does anyone know who made this lock.???

Enjoy, Steve.

[Steve48]

Well the inside cover came off surprisingly easy really.........

I didn't expect it to be full of what appears to be sawdust, sand and broken glass, lots of broken glass. This being inside the security it serves no purpose other than insulation or sound deadening, so I think something more suitable like rock-wool will be going back.

Are you sure that it is glass?

Should be Alum crystals to generate steam in fire.

Thank you for the two clips, not seen either before. So Cotterill's made the lock, is that right, you don't say so, but include the advert, so I presume it to be.

Good point and thank you for that. Safes are not my forte as you can tell. Maybe I should rethink my plan.

4 way boltwork is so slick.

Yes, alum has about the highest level of "water of crystalisation". It produces a huge amount of water when heated and transformed to the anhydrous state.

Hi all, has anyone got any idea what this Cotterill part is from? It says Edwin Cotterill patent paragon spring I think.
