One of the things I love about my job is the sense of accomplishment I get from helping others as was the case with the Zephyr.
I was contacted by Madelaine with a problem she was having with removing her swing door so her builder could lay a new floor. I am happy to show I was able to help.

As can be seen lateral fine tuning is handled by way of this adjustable strap, being a cheaper option than the adjustable full brass shoe or "adjustabox."
The brass decor plate appears to have cleaned up nicely.
The "Zephyr" was introduced in 1953 by WILLIAM NEWMAN AND SONS Ltd and is in this instance is a hold open type, Madelaine's "Zephyr" however was manufactured in 1966 I believe from seeing this stamped into the top plate.
The floor spring appears to be approximately two thirds of the width of the 400 that I have shown you on many occasions.
It is in someways similar to Joseph Bardsleys floor spring in so much as it has a central piston encased by a single spring.
As usual please feel free to comment and I hope you have enjoyed this post.
