Transcript | THE BERLIN IRON BRIDGE COMPANY, CORRUGATED IRON BOX DOORS. TT7HESE ARE constructed of two layers of heavy corrugated iron, each layer built in a heavy angle iron frame, and the two ® I ® connected together by heavy bands and angles, with an air space of two inches or more between the layers, the whole strengthened by projecting flanges and cross bands, and held firmly in position by heavy hinges and double latch bars. For extraordinary exposures, as for fire walls in wooden buildings and for vault doors, we fill the space between the two layers with nonconducting material, making a fire proof door which will resist any heat short of the melting point. We have no hesitation in saying that these doors will stand any heat which a brick wall will stand, without warping, twisting, or allowing the fire to pass through. EAST BERLIN, CONNECTICUT, U. S.
