The hundreds I've thrown away converting old Suprotexes to something other, like wet systems, for the Navy were as Ed described. If Dead Bob really wants to he could re-calibrate motorcycle shop manometers, the ones used for synching multiple slide type carburetors. Speaking of which I once owned a Ferrari 250 Berlinetta with six twin throat Webers (for the car and/or math impaired that equals twelve slides that need to operate in synchronization). Bottom line was tune carbs on Saturday. Drive Ferrari on Sunday. Go to work Monday through Friday in the Honda (or Toyota or VW or...).

Although late, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to elaborate on the HAD's. Some of them were combination rate of rise and fixed temperature. Air in the tubing was under a bit of pressure. Rate of rise from the increase caused by air expansion, and fixed temp because of a little hollow screw-like thingie, with the hollow filled with a fusible alloy. The one I have was made by Automatic.

There are old pneumatic HADs that operate off a rise in air pressure. If believe these HAD's tied directly into the deluge system buts it's been about 12 yrs since I messed with them. The same plant had electric HAD's operating on 220vdc and fire pumps at 4,400 vac.
