 to close an electric switch, when the time lock would 

 be electrically wound, thereby preventing the opening 

 of the door until the expiration of the added number 

 of hours. 



The vaults are furnished with several thousand 

 safe-deposit boxes of various sizes. Each box is 

 provided with a combination lock or with one or
