Additional info
was sent by Mr Simon Snape on 14-06-2004
In addition to Mines Rescue this pattern of
Breathing apparatus was in widespread use with local Authorities Fire
Brigades in the UK till the late 1960's some lasting into the 1970's. Sets
with one (I believe) two (normal) and four hours duration could be found
in different Brigades. Chesghire Fire Brigade used 4 hour sets because of
the potential fro ship incidents along the Mersey and Manchester Ship
canal.
The sets were replaced from the mid sixties by
compressed air sets which were easier and more comfortable to use if
providing much shorter duration.
Thanks a great site!!
