Entrance and other gates, etc.
Gold medal and 100 francs awarded to H. A. Thompson, for drainage levels, at the Exposition Universelle de Paris, 1856; and 2 silver medals by the Royal Agricultural Society of England.
SET OF ENTRANCE GATES, WITH CAST-IRON PIERS.
These gates are constructed on a principle which gives great strength with an ornamental appearance. They are made of iron and wood, the latter forming a trussed framing which is tied by the former, so that it is impossible for them to drop from wear or ill-usage. The mountings are a peculiar combination of levers, whereby the gates will close themselves without jar; and the latches have locking fastenings. They may be had of any size, and finished in any style.
