LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT’S
INGENIOUS TIME RECORDER
The Fort Valley fire department
has an ingenious device for infalli¬
bly recording the exact time
of receiving Ti fire alarm.
Sometimes it is important that in¬
formation as to the exact time a five
occurs or the alarm is turned in be
available, and before the clever in¬
vention referred to herein was in¬
stalled, such information was by no
means certain and was sometimes
open to dispute. Naturally, when a
fire alarm is received, the main busi
ness is to get to the tire, not to look
at the clock or watch and make a
leisurely entry of the time in the re¬
cord book kept by the department.
So, Chief J. L. Everett and Mr.
George Fincher decided they would
fix that little matter beyond the per
adventure of a doubt; and they put
their heads together to that end.
Both being men of much electrical
* knowledge and experience, both of
their great minds naturally ran in
the same channel, and that channel
an electrical one.
The scheme evolved was to place
an electro-magnet behind the big
pendulum of the five station clock
and to connect the electric circuit of
this magnet through a battery
to the receiver hook of the
telephone in the fire-alarm booth,
When the receiver is removed from
the hook in answering a fire call the
magnet circuit is automatically clos
ed, the electro-magnet energized,
and the iron pendulum of the clock
grabbed and held by it, as by an un
seen hand from behind. When the
receiver is hung back on the hook,
the circuit is broken and the
releases the pendulum, which falls
away from it but remains motionless
until the fire is out and the men re¬
turn to the fire station, note and re¬
cord the time the clock stopped, and
then start the pendulum
again and move up the hands to the
correct time.
The system was designed and
built even to the winding of the
magnet itself by Messrs. Everett and
Fincher.

58 Georgia Counties Produce Increase
Atlanta—Fifty-eight Georgia
ties that were called on by the state
tax commissioner, H. J. Fullbright, to
show an increase of $54,000,000 in tax
assessments for 1920, have gone $18,
000,000 above that figure and pro¬
duced an increase of $72,000,000. These
58 counties in 1919 were above the
average of 35 per cent, which all tax
assessments figured in a stale-wide
survey. Hence they were not asked
for a very heavy increase in 1920, but
the burden of responsibility was put
upon the counties that fell below the
average of 35 per cent. As an evi
dence. however, of their public
and the efficient work of .heir tax
equalizers, they have come up w rith
$14,000,000 more values than was ask
ed of them.
