Excerpt: ...we found the furnace in poor working condition because of a temporary defect in the gas supply, such that we could not regulate the temperature evenly over the entire curtain or measure it precisely by the pyrometer. After testing several curtains we therefore suspended these tests. The large sheets under these conditions made a much better showing than the small samples had made in the laboratory. Nevertheless these Chicago tests fully confirmed the conclusion, derived from our Boston tests, that asbestos cloth is rapiuly weakened by the heat of an ordinary fire to an extent that makes a curtain composed wholly of asbestos cloth an unreliable fire screen for the proscenium arch of a theater, if expected to endure more than a few minutes; and it was proved that the asbestos canvas was so weakened that it would be ruptured easily by a blow from any falling material or by a strong current of air. It was noted during these tests that the Johns curtains were found particularly weak in their horizontal threads, permitting vertical rents to be easily made. That the canvas of the other makers is similarly much less strong horizontally than it is vertically, or in the warp threads, may be seen from the Boston tests set forth in the previous table. The seams sewed with asbestos thread showed no special weakness more than the canvas. A notable feature in these furnace tests with those curtains that contained from five per cent. to eight per cent. of cotton was the flame that played all over the outer face of the cloth when the furnace was lighted, and which might be disquieting to an audience in giving for a moment an impression that the asbestos curtain was burning up. 3d Series. For the third series of tests, the friendly services of...
