[Abstract] This lock has multiple security verification mechanisms. It can only be turned on if the entire verification process is broken. If there is only a key, if there is no owner's consent, it cannot be opened at all.
The Verge Chinese Station reported on March 9
If I tell you that the technology from 1680 can still surprise us like the iPhone and Alexa, would you believe it? Maybe you don’t believe it, but it does exist.
In our impression, high-tech is usually composed of such things as "silicon crystals" and "systems," but in fact, from any era, it is full of high-tech belonging to that era.
We are already familiar with a variety of smart locks that can be networked, but last week I discovered a "detector lock" at the museum, which was built by a British locksmith named John Wilkes 340 years ago. This lock represents the highest level of technology in the 17th century, and it is no different than the various smart locks on the market today.
This lock was made of brass and was used to store valuables. The reason why it was named "probe" was that there was a dial on it. It was impossible to open the key with the key without the consent of the owner.
At the same time, this lock has multiple security mechanisms, such as pressing the top soldier's hat and then twisting the handle to open the first lock.
Pressing the button next to the footstep simultaneously reveals the keyhole.
Then insert the key and adjust the dial pointed to by the head to a combination of numbers similar to the password.
Only after these security mechanisms are correct can the lock be opened.
How do you think that this lock, 340 years ago, does not look safer than today's smart locks? (Author: Thomas Ricker compiled: Guti)
