Background: For more than 100 years the German firm of Carl Metz has specialised in the production of fire-fighting equipment and fire engines. Their latest enterprise, in keeping with modern requirements, is a mobile, extension fire escape with an elevation of more than 200-feet.

Power by the motor of the basic truck, the extending framework is intended rather as the means to support a 'bosun's chair' than as a ladder, as such.

Demonstrated here, at the Karlsruhe factory, the giant Metz turntable ladder quickly unfolds alongside a towering chimney, operated with ease-yet meticulous control-by a small crew.

To ensure the complete safety of the device, simple yet comprehensive instruments record details of height, angle,etc., at all stages of the operation.
