Mosler Steel Vault Doors Pass Rigorous Drill Test
The Mosler firm tested vault steel for Mitchell National Bank by drilling with a 200 pound drill and turpentine oil. The drill failed to penetrate the plate despite increasing pressure, triggering President Smith to offer 25 dollars for success. The test proved the steel capable of resisting burglary efforts and the vault was then installed.
