We installed the Caframo Sirocco fan above our bed at the van’s rear. It is very well made and feels like a quality product. It has many excellent features, such as a 360-degree swivel, two power options (12v or 24v), and a very quiet operation.

Samuel Cleland Davidson became a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1888, and in 1921 he was knighted by King George V although too ill to make the journey to London for the ceremonials. A few months later Davidson died on 18 August 1921 in Seacourt, Bangor, County Down. He was buried alongside his wife, Clara Mary, in Belfast City Cemetery. [7] The ventilation system on the Olympic class ships is one in which I've had particular interest. This particular thread may represent a rivet too small for the rivet heads to count but here it is: In 1988, the Davidson Group was acquired by the fan and heat exchanger firm James Howden & Co (established 1854 by the Scottish engineer James Howden) to form Howden Sirocco Limited, today known as Howden UK. [3] Davidson's Sirocco Works were eventually vacated and in 2009 the property was demolished as part of the redevelopment of the Belfast Waterfront. The name of Davidson's former factory continues today in the Sirocco Works Football Club, a team formed in 1924 by works employees which continues to play today in the Northern Amateur Football League. The building was derelict and partially roofless at the time of survey in October 1994 but was otherwise in a reasonable condition. Samuel was always aware of the diverse applications of the technology he invented and newspapers of the late 1800s and early 1900s featured adverts for Sirocco products ranging from lawn tennis net poles to ventillation machinery for mining operations. He invented and marketed a sparkling tea drink, and was close friends with John Dunlop as they were both experimenting with the vulcanisation of rubber, another imperial cash crop with huge potential for the British economy.Career [ edit ] Samuel Cleland Davidson with a huge centrifugal fan he designed and manufactured, probably for ventillating a mine shaft.

Sir Samuel Cleland Davidson, KBE (18 November 1846 – 18 August 1921) was a British inventor and engineer. Through his career in the tea import business he invented and patented a number of industrial machines and developed the earliest air conditioning systems. He founded the Sirocco Works in Belfast in 1881. Family [ edit ] A plaque on the Laganside Walkway next to the former Sirocco works, commemorating Sir Samuel Davison Samuel was a very effective strategist – he could think ahead, see the big picture and take bold steps to change the circumstances for his businesses if necessary. An example of this was the retail price of tea. It was still very expensive in the late Victorian era and he realised that if the Indian tea estates and his machinery were to make a profit in the long term the retail price would have to come down significantly and become affordable for the whole population. To fix this he set up the Sirocco Bonded Tea Store, imported and sold tea at a far lower price than usual that forced the larger tea companies to cut their prices too, then closed that company once it had achieved its goal. He brought the retail price of tea in Belfast down from 5 shillings to 2 shillings per pound.I believe that what you are calling a "corrosion hole" is actually where the duct passes through Titanic's lounge roof extension. No such opening would be found on Olympic because the The fan is shown as sitting on the frame in question on the Lounge roof, and I assume the duct would have split to go on either side of the frame, but whenever not intefering with the framing, would be one solid duct. Unless the frames in this area were cut away, but is there any evidence on the iron plans to suggest that there was strengthening in this area due to sections of the frame missing to accommodate the ducts? This particular fan housing has corroded away on the outboard side, allowing one to see directly into the fan plenum. Looking at the interior configuration of the fan housing, I could see where the air would exhaust downward out the forward half of the housing assembly.
