Below is an old advert from Allgood Holborn showing the 'Avon' floor spring.

And here is the real thing, a NOS Avon floor spring with its cardboard protective cover removed for viewing purposes.

The Avon was manufactured by William Newman & Sons Ltd, Hospital Street Birmingham. There were four different types manufactured.

The one above is the double action without check, they also produced a double action with a pneumatic check, a single action
(shallow box) with a pneumatic check and finally a single action in a very shallow box with two pneumatic checks side by side.

MFS,

nice article about the Avon, most grease I have ever seen in one location or device (or container) neat to read about the different types they made, I would love to see the 2 pneumatic checks side by side one, may be interesting to see the insides!

another great closer and photos from MFS!!!

    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.
