30 p. M. ) AFTERNOON SESSION (2. 30 O'CLOCK). The SECRETARY. Mr. Goodrich, your name was mentioned this morning, and we would like very much to get upon the record a statement of your experience in protecting the vessels of your com- pany from fire, especially with the automatic sprinklers you are using. Mr. GOODRICH. We have some steamers equipped with the auto- matic sprinkler system, known as the dry-pipe system. The others are equipped with open-head sprinklers. They are arranged in groups ...rather a crude affair. The SECRETARY. When you speak of open sprinklers you refer to those manually opened, I suppose ? Mr. GOODRICH. Yes; by a valve in the engine room, and the valve permits the water to flow through a given number of heads at the same time, covering a given area. The SECRETARY'. You say it is the dry-pipe system. Mr. GOODRICH. We could not use anything else because some of the boats we have operate the year around. In weather such as we have on Lake Michigan, it being frequently several degrees below zero, anything that contained water would be useless.
