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.
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.

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

AuthorAs 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. Archives
