| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The works were erected to work certain patents in connection with hydraulic moulding. In addition to small repeat castings suitable for machine moulding,, the company commenced in 1892 the manufacture of cast-iron tunnel lining in segments, of which it has since made a speciality. These segments are used for the lining of tunnels, and are specially statable for tunnels made by means of a shield and compressed air, as was done in the case of the Blackwall Tunnell and the Central London Railway and the Glasgow District Subway. The works cover an area of over eleven acres, and are well placed, having not only direct communication with the Caledonian and North British Railways, but also with a private wharf, at which can be loaded or discharged steamers of from 700 to 800 tons capacity. |
