Agents sought

for new-design security fence

Pacific agents are now being

sought for a revolutionary high

security fencing system de

veloped in Ireland and now being introduced to this part of the world by R. H. Engineering (N.S.W.) Pty. Ltd., of Coward Street, Mascot, N.S.W.

Australia.

The barrier is made up of expanded steel, and is a vane rotating on a shaft, so that any one attempting to climb over the fence is unable to gain a stable foothold. Specialists from the West German army, who nor mally clear a barbed wire fence in less than a minute, took more than four minutes to get over one fitted with this new system, known as Rotaguard.

Sharp edges on the mesh vanes shred even thick protective clo thing and can cause serious lacer

ations to unwisely placed flesh.

Rotaguard units can be fitted to walls, fences, roofs or drain

pipes, and are already widely

used in Britain, Ireland, Europe and the United States on such diverse places as prisons, banks, airports, power stations, Yonkers Raceway, and the Manchester

City football ground.

The weave of the mesh used is designed to deter cutting with high-strength shears and it can not be avoided by draping it with cloth because each 11-inch wide unit turns with the climber’s

weight-shifts.

Irish engineer Thomas McLoughlin invented the anti thief, anti-vandal, barrier after his young nephew was strangled when he slipped while climbing a barbed-wire fence. What he pro duced has been hailed as the best bit of security hardware since the Romans stopped building forts to fight off the Saracens.

Rotaguard is now patented in 19 countries and is being made in Australia under licence.
