  • What's my closer?

Here is another Robert Adams I worked on a while back at St John the Evangelist, Old Couldson. As can be seen from the pictures I took this is an early Robert Adams floor spring, as stated before each one is individually marked and the number on this one being reasonably low at only 336 (I wonder where number 1 is)

You can see there were two more Robert Adams door springs that appear to have long since been removed or moved (the ones I worked on could be them) and all that is left is an oil stain on the flagstones.

Any guesses Jess why the cup was formed at the end of the carriage?

Update: The 336 may in fact be a model/size/strength number as there is another number on the box which I now feel maybe the serial number.
Further update: The 336 is definitely a model number, the model I worked on is still early however as it has not yet been named the 'Crown Victor.'

Here are the model numbers which are associated with door width, thickness etc:

No 335, 336, 337 these models all have checks, the model numbers for this closer without checks are 330, 331, 332 this floor spring has further identifiers associated with it, these being B, C, D, E and F.

Robert Adams “Victor” Sceptre Number 21

Despite recent events and the accusations of "passing off" I shall continue to blog about the Robert Adams range of floor springs, plus any and all I come across as I feel there are freedom of speech issues involved, right of expression and to be curtailed from doing so would I feel be detrimental to how as I understand it the Internet works and should work.

I have been approached by a local ironmongers of some historical note regarding Robert Adams Sceptre Number 21's fortunately still in place in the Leicester County Council Headquarters.

They appear to be a similar one to the version I was sent the piston from, it is nice to see how the springs are positioned as previously I only got to work on the piston, pivot and yoke of this model.

    As there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog.
