"The first automatic fire extinguishing system on record was patented in England in 1723 and consisted of a cask of water, a chambe of gunpowder, and a system of fuses. The first form of sprinkler system used in the United States, however, was the perforated pipe system, which was first installed about 1852. The first automatic sprinkler was invented in 1864, but it wasn't until 1878 that Henry Parmelee invented a sprinkler that was used extensively in practice. Some 200,000 Parmelee sprinklers were installed throughout New England by the Providence Steam and Gas Pipe Company (later the Grinnell Company) between 1878 and 1882." ---- from the Preface..
