A fire protection and/or extinguishing article comprises a sheet which has, uniformly dispersed therein, a material which undergoes an endothermic reaction to release a non-flammable gas and simultaneously absorb heat when subjected to an elevated temperature. This sheet is sandwiched between a gas permeable thermal barrier and a layer of gas permeable thermal insulation in a preferred embodiment which may function as a foldable and storable blanket.

Disclosed is an apparatus for severing connector sticks into separate connector modules. A stick is formed by arranging individual connector housings in a serial row, and joining the connectors by a pair of L-shaped carriers. The carriers are arranged to overlie an outside corner of each housing, with one leg of the L-overlying a sidewall, and the other leg of the L-overlying the bottom wall. A tool bit is provided with first and second cutting surfaces, which sever respective legs of the carrie...
