Seven items from the U.S. and the Philippines, shown as complete scans. Each has a page with the full image, a transcript where legible and the original PDF to download.
The original Exit Traveler website linked six of these files, labelled “1987-10-26 - Newsweek Magazine - Article - Exit Traveler,” “1987-11-20 - Morning Call - Allentown PA - Article Device Helps Safe Escape Fire,” “1988-08-04 - Manila Standard - Exit Traveler,” “1988-11-27 - Manila Standard - Newspaper - Exit Traveler,” “1990-03-07 - news letter” and “1990-08 - Popular Science Magazine.” The seventh, the 1990 Chicago Tribune article, was stored on the site but never linked. All seven are published here in full.
A short “New Products” item describing the portable rescue device, its cable and brakes, three models, and the 12-story kit’s weight and price. Rick Denzien is quoted as president of R.A.W. Rescue Products of Ambler, Pa.
Report of a public demonstration at the Montgomery County Fire Academy in Plymouth Township, Pa., described as the first time in the United States the device had been demonstrated.
Philippine announcement that Unirel Industries Corporation had introduced the Exit Traveler, with a comment from its marketing manager.
A gift-guide style piece describing the compact lowering device, its automatic brake, travel case and window breaker, with an early-order offer from Unirel Industries Corporation.
The file was originally labelled simply “newsletter.” It is a 44-page printout of a weekly paper’s issue of March 7, 1990. A fragment beginning “Exit T” appears at the right edge of page 8, but the scan is cut off at the margin, so the passage cannot be read.
A feature on the booming safety- and security-products market. It mentions the Exit Traveler, which it calls a “portable fire ladder,” in an illustrative hotel-fire scenario.
A short product item beside a photograph of the unit’s cable, hook and harness.
Further material found in public archives in October 2026: Business Week (1989), Architecture (AIA, 1987), American Survival Guide (1989), R.A.W.’s 1990 advertisement, trade listings, books, seven Dutch newspaper reports from 1985 and the patents.
All further finds Dutch press, 1985
Clippings are reproduced as historical documents. Copyright in each remains with its original publisher. Where a scan is cropped to the page for readability, the unchanged original PDF is available to download.
