W W Greener went on record to say that he did not believe in safety catches, but he clearly would do what the customer asked (apparently charging a Guinea extra if the request was for a top safety instead of his own patent side safety).

Here is an early first model Facile Princeps Ejector with not one but 2 safety catches, side safety and grip safe.
