The inventor invented lots of useful things
The low melting point of a material used in automatic sprinkler systems helps it to quickly release water when exposed to heat, activating the sprinkler system. This property ensures rapid response and effective fire suppression.
They invented drawing on rocks with wedges, and they also invented Hammurabi's Code. This is a revised answer, hope you found it useful.
A local yellow pages might be very useful for that. Here is a link to a list of sprinkler vendors in New Mexico: http://www.lawnsprinklers.us/new-mexico.htm
modern automatic sprinklers use a glass bulb that is filled with a fluid that boils and expands at a preset temperature. the glass bulb has a small bubble in the fluid. when a fire causes the fluid to boil, it shatters the glass bulb, which is keeping the waterway seal of the sprinkler in place. When the seal is gone, water can flow through the sprinkler orfice, and extinguish the fire. older sprinkler models use a link and lever arrangement, with a link of solder that melts at a preset temperature. The link and levers of the sprinkler mechanically hold the waterway seal of the sprinkler closed. When the link melts, the mechanical seal is gone, and water can flow through the orfice.
He was a scientist, mathematician and an artist!
