The New Quarters Of The Savings Bank

The Ann Arbor Savings Rank now i occupies the finest bank quarters in the state. The furnishings are complete, aud every arrangement has been made for the transaction of business quickly, safely and with every attention to the accommodation of depositors and patrons of the bank. The tellers who handle the money are all in cages, which lock automatically, so that it is impossible for any one to get in where they are, the cages extending overhead as well as on the sides. The wood work is of oak, carved and highly polished. The walls are decorated in delicate tinted plastic relief work. Windows are provided for the commercial department, the savings department, collections, the bookkeeper and the safety deposit vaults. eception rooms upholstered and ell furnished are provided for waitng customers, both gentlemen and adies, also stalls for the safety deíositors, so that they maylook over ïeir papers in privacy. The direcor's room is provided with high )ack chairs. The cashier's room is here he can seeevery onewhocomes n the building, and keep the run of ie whole business. It is well furished and finished with an elegant esk. But the greatest of the new fitngs of the bank are the two absoutely secure vaults, built of chrome teel tempered so as to make each late absolutely drill-proof. There re five plates in each layer, making wenty plates in all, which gives the ault even more strength than the ew war ship City of New York. A vestibule twenty-nine inches deep s in front of these doors, and of ie same material and thickness as he body of the work. Then comes ie outside door, which is a marvel n its way. Including bolt frame, te, it is eight inches thick, made ut of the same chrome drill-proof teel, and notwithstanding its tons f weight, it is so finely fitted and eared to its carrying apparatus that : moves and opens and closes to its )lace as if its weight was infinitesinal. It is well worth examining ie ingenious mechanism with which he Diebold Safe and Lock ComDany have accomplished this object. Vhen you come to look at the fit of ïese doors, which are as tight and lose fitting as a watchcase, it seems lmost impossible that a door could )e made to fit so perfectly. We are ot through with this door yet, beause its locking apparatus is somehing unique. There are three time ocks on this door, each separate nd independent. These three locks each separately and individu[ly and also collectively control and perate at the opening time the wonderful dúplex antomatic device which opens the massive bolts. 'his door is solid, and has na conection with the outside whatever, nd is opened and closed automatcally by these Diebold three clocks nd their automatic device.
