- Abstract
- This paper consists of two parts. Part I consists of two reports on fire experiments in full-scale houses, comparative study on the absorption of visible and infrared ray in smoke, a report on the study of beam-type smoke detectors, and several recent developments on smoke detectors and fire alarm systems. Part II discusses the formation of smoke particles to apply the results of the study of fire detection and escape from fires.
