The Dyckerhoff brand is invariably of correct chemical composition and the work done with it is invariably strong and absolutely durable.

Patent Automatic Scuttle Opener

This Opener can be easily opened from the floor below. and will remain open. It is operated with ONE rope, which both opens and closes the scuttle. When closed, it is selflocking, having two (2) bolts, making it impossible to open from the roof. In case of fire, there is no climbing of ladder to unlock scuttle. One pull of the rope opens bolts and scuttle, which remains open, allowing people to escape by way of the roof. It is made of wrought and malleable iron, and will not break or get out of order. Simple in construction. SKYLIGHT WORKS,
