1862 London Exhibition: Catalogue: Class VIII.: George Lloyd
1913. LLOYD, GEORGE, 70 Great Guildford Street, Southwark.
Patent noiseless centrifugal fan blowing machines, mine ventilators, etc.
Obtained the prize medal at the Great Exhibition, 1851; also the silver medal at the Paris Exhibition, 1855.
For melting iron and other metals; blowing smiths' forges; puddling furnaces; dessication; ventilating buildings, ships, sewers, wells, coalpits, and mines of every description; and forcing or exhausting hot or cold air at high or low pressure, for any purpose for which it may be required.
The machine exhibited (42-in.) will melt from 4 to 5 tons of iron per hour, or blow from 60 to 80 smiths' forges; or will deliver, for ventilation, 7,500 cubic feet of air per minute.
From the peculiar construction of this fan, it will do nearly double the amount of duty with the same amount of power as any other kind of fan, and from there being no back action on the blades by the air, it works entirely without humming noise.
Sizes made:- 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 30, 36, 42, 48 inches.
