Neat, although it looks a bit small to be holding much weight.

Hello, Bill. Thanks for looking. Not sure of what the internals are like  , but the rope has a braided steel core for strength , and hopefully some resistance to fire. I am still researching!

Hello, Bill . The photo is of a complete unit . Here is a little blurb from the company ;                                                          The Davy Automatic Fire Escape was considered a safe portable automatic means of escape in the event of fire . The wall mounted  device contains a centrifugally geared braking mechanism , which ensures a controlled rate of descent , irrespective of weight or height of the person using it . The davy Automatic Fire escape was designed to be strongly fixed to the wall of any bedroom in a hotel, house, etc.,
