Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armour Engineer, Vol. 2 It has only been within very recent years that any definite and well planned work has been carried out for the purpose of reducing the enormous losses that occur by fire every year in nearly all branches of industry. Previous to this time, the construction of a new building, or the arrangement of apparatus in it for the carrying on of an industry, was governed entirely by the immediate requirements of that industry, and little or no attention was paid to the fire hazard that was involved. The result was a very high rate of insurance and a constant risk of a conflagration. The profitableness of an investment in safeguards against fire gradually became evident however, not only because of the large reduction in insurance rates and the elimination of a great part of the clanger, but also because of the fact that the mere recovery of insurance after a fire will only compensate to a small extent for the delays and indirect losses involved, and that the effects of a fire last mentioned are best insured against by adequate means of protection applied in an intelligent manner. As the number of appliances and methods for fire prevention increased, the problem of adjusting the insurance rates became exceedingly intricate and complex, and it came to be recognized that men of considerable education were needed in this field. In answer to the demand for such men, many eastern and a number of the western schools established courses in fire insurance, treating of this problem from the standpoint of the insurance company that was assuming a hazard. Such courses were comparatively short however, and were in some cases included as side line in a major course or placed in the curriculum of an evening school. It remained for the Armour Institute of Technology to get down to the fundamentals of the problem and establish a course in Fire Protection Engineering. As the name of the course implies, it is not only designed for the study of the adjustment of fire insurance rates, but what is more important, but for the intelligent study of practical protective devices for hazards already in existence and of new protective measures applicable to hazards still to be constructed.

We are then advised that the causes of our difficulty are three in number. The natural causes are few - lightning, earthquake and tornado. The so called moral causes of fire may be divided into two. Classes, incendiarism and the result of indifference or deliberate carelessness. The physical causes of fire are many, but almost. Entirely pre veritable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armour Engineer, Vol. 6 Accordingly, the Blue Island avenue tunnel was constructed, to replace this section with an alignment following the public streets. The Blue Island avenue tunnel was put into operation during the year 1909, after which time the old Cross-town tunnel was abandoned. It being the experience that the cost of maintaining the Two-Mile Crib was excessive, plans were considered in 1907 and it was practically then decided to abandon this crib by constructing a new crib farther out in the lake and to extend the three tunnels supplied by the Two-Mile Crib to the new crib. With this end in view, the Blue Island avenue tunnel, 8 feet in diameter, was commenced, with the sinking of Shaft No.1, located in Delaware place, just east of Lincoln Parkway. A stub was extended easterly from this shaft 440 feet, it being the intention at some future date to extend this tunnel out to the above mentioned new crib. In order to supply water temporarily to the Blue Island avenue tunnel, a connection was driven south in Lincoln Parkway from Delaware place and around the Chicago avenue water tower to a connection with Shaft Moutside of the Chicago avenue pumping station. In practical operation it was found that the water taken from this shaft was lowering the level of the water in the wells of the Chicago avenue pumping station, thus interfering with its supply, as well as with that of the 22nd street station. This became particularly acute during the year 1911-1912, when the capacity of the 22nd street pumping station was increased from 60 to 100 million gallons per 24 hours by means of the addition of two 20 million gallon electrically driven centrifugal pumps. Samples of water taken at the Two-Mile Crib show water equally pure with those taken at other cribs located farther out in the lake.
