- Abstract
- Unwanted fire signals continuously reduce the credibility of automatic fire alarm systems. Any development which provides an improvement on that credibility must be a step in the right direction. Fire brigade delay units of the form described in this article may not be necessary when detection and alarm systems are totally reliable, although even the most advanced "intelligent" system may ultimately include a refined form of delay unit in its control centre.
