Electrical Fire Extinguisher, (1 folder, ca. 1900)
Archive
This undated typescript, entitled “L. H. Latimer’s Electrical Fire Extinguishing System,” provides a detailed description of a fire-fighting technology devised by Lewis Latimer. The document may have been prepared by Latimer to interest a potential investor or manufacturer, or in planning a patent application. But it appears to be one of his several known proposed inventions that he never patented.
This document appears to be a detailed technical or scientific discussion, possibly related to electrical engineering, mechanical inventions, or industrial advancements. The structure and formality suggest it could be a personal or professional report, an engineering essay, or a historical record related to Lewis Latimer’s contributions.
