THE AMERICAN FILM-SAFE The American Film-Safe is a neat, compact, fireproof filing cabinet for films. It is made of full cold rolled sheet steel with all joints tenoned and pinned together and is practically indestructible. The safe is of unit construction and may be added to or rearranged at will. Each film is housed in a separate fireproof compartment and is suspended on a film carriage which automatically moves forward when the door to the compartment is opened. Reels are always readily accessible for handling. Doors to compartments close and fasten automatically. Each compartment has a bronze label holder on the door into which a card can be inserted so that films can be catalogued or indexed. American Film-Safes absorb abnormal heat from films and maintain them at normal humidity, thereby increasing the life of the films. Exterior surfaces are beautifully finished in baked enamel. Interior surfaces are thoroughly protected against rust. Standard colors are olive green with bronze hardware but they may be had in several other finishes. Safes may be purchased on the deferred payment plan.
