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.

Hi Paul I am thrilled you have taken the time to both comment and service/repair your R. Adams, rather than remove the mechanism. Do you have any pictures you care to share or have any information regarding the historicity of the Church or installation? What was wrong with the Sceptre initially?

    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.
