Meteor

Picture
This model floor spring was part of William Newman & Sons Briton range and is called a Meteor. The Meteor was rather a late edition to its door closer range considering the Briton line was first brought out in 1907.

This floor spring came after the Monarch and the 400, the main difference from both these floor springs is that the Meteor has an external transverse adjustment which can be seen in the picture as an integral part of the case at the opposite end from the pin. The pin is the same shape and size as that found on both the Monarch and the 400.

Hello there Rod, nice to learn about the Meteor floorspring,

this one's date code appears to be 7 92,

fromlooking at the coverplate (all them screws!) reminds me of the GEZE STEOP 360, spring tention adjustment being on end opposite the pin also similar to GEZE's,

I wonder if insides are similar as well??

another great closer find you have there Rod!!

Hi Jess, thanks for your interest and comments. I believe the Geze 360 has a single piston and pin (somewhat similar to Briton/Newman's 600 and Singlo), the Briton Meteor has two springs, single central piston and no external power adjustment

    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.
