Escape Chute (Apr, 1948)

Escape Chute can evacuate the entire 136-bed Georgia Baptist Hospital, Atlanta, in only a few minutes. In case of fire, patients can be picked up, mattress and all, and slid to safety down the spiral chute.

    The only thing I’ed be worried about it the kids in the children’s ward would keep sliding down the thing.
