Y., which is used by the leading safe makers in their bestwork and which has received the unqualified indorsement ofthe experts of the United States Government. This is madeby welding into a solid plate two layers of chrome steel (atempered alloy of the metals chromium and iron) alternatelybetween three lay-ers of tough fi-brous iron. Topenetrate suchplates it would benecessary to cuteach layer of ironand shatter eachply of steel, whichcannot be done bythe means accessi-ble to the the method ofconstruction usedbytheDiebold Safeand Lock Com-pany, which we nave SeieCteG as a modern burclak proof bankers safe (diebold).. 398 OUR RIVAL, THE RASCAL. type to illustrate the burglar proof safe of to-day, the entireoutside of the safe is made in four segments of Brooklynchrome steel known as full angle caps. This form of con-struction avoids the use of panel plates which might be wedgedand stripped off. The edges of these segments are hand-ground to an exact metallic contact and are held together bythe next layer of plates (also of five-ply chrome steel), whichare screwed firmly to the outer segment and overlap all joints,coming flush with the angles. Next follows another set ofchrome steel angles. In this manner the safe can be built toany desired thickness, angles and square plates following eachother alternately from the outside to the inside of the safe. All of these plates are secured by short screws put in at anaverage of from six to eight inches apart (centre tocen
