EWe have automatic sprinkler heads, and we have automatic sprinkler heads , and we have automatic sprinkler systems, and we have automatic systems with open heads (holes), but we also have manual systems with open heads or simply just holes. I believe the first edition of NFPA 13 came out in 1905 and was actually NFBU (?) 1. I have a handbook from 1914 talking about assigning dedicated personal to turning on valves. And as I've related we have manual systems with automatic heads in several buildings in Seattle, as well as manual exposure protection systems that I doubt any dedicated person is assigned to operate.
