Thermosonus
In 1922, Manuel de Burnay invented the thermosonus, an automatic fire alarm. Mounted on the ceiling, this unit detects sudden thermal wave changes, triggering an alarm. A signal then appears on the panel to which it is connected, thus informing on the location of the fire. (Summary taken from the CNC Patrimoine catalogue)
