If it was missing, you would know.

Try to imagine how many thousand of these firehose reels are in all of New York’s high-rises.
Especially if zoning requires more than one per floor.

They tend to be hidden away in the drab stairwells of most buildings. I especially love: “M’F'D’” That would be a great name for a design studio. Steal this idea!

    You have an eye to se the Typography on a Hose Reel.

    I love teh typography on the Man Hole COvers. Apparetnly the Man Hle Covers of NYC were made in Calcutta. The more recent ones.
