By Special Appointment
Silk Mercer and Shawlman
To Her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H.the Princess ofWales,andH.R.H.the Princess Christian,
NORWICH,
Desires most respectfully to invite attention to the beautiful Manufactures of this ancient City, well-known as the earliest, and long the most important, seat of Textile industries in this country.
Especial excellence of Design, Colouring, and Quality have been attained in the production of
SHAWLS, POPLINS, CAMLETS,
AND FANCY MATERIALS FOR WALKING AND EVENING DRESSES,
In the Manufacture of which Fabrics, Norwich continues to sustainits long-established pre-eminence.
THE CHOICEST DESIGNS IN
NORWICH SHAWLS
Are always on view, including those Specially Designed and Manufactured for this Establishment, and those supplied by command to Her Majesty the Queen.
NORWICH PARAMATTAS
And other Materials for Deep Mourning are confidently recommended as being better in quality and dye than are produced in any other place.
PATTERNS FREE BY POST.
On receipt of an Order,with reference,a selection of Shawls or other Goodswill be forwarded for choice,carriage free.
TheOrwell Works, Ipswich, where from 1000 to 1100 men and boys are constantly employed, are situated on the edge of the Wet Dock, to which they have a frontage of 935 feet, the largest dock frontage in the possession of any private trading company in the United Kingdom. The Great Eastern Railway runs into the yards, and goods may be packed in the Orwell Works yard and delivered at any place having railway communication with London without unloading.
The works occupy twelve acres of ground, of which about two-thirds is roofed over, and the demand for covered space continually increases. From 5,000 to 6,000 tons of complete machinery, chiefly for agricultural uses, annually leave the works. These, if placed side by side and close together, would cover at least ten acres. These machines go to all parts of the world. Orders have been executed for almost every country in Europe, for North and South America, for Persia, India, the Spice Islands, Australia, Africa, and other countries. The catalogues and price currents of the firm have been printed in many languages of the Old and the New World.
The factory is divided into two parts by a road leading direct into the Quay. On the southern side are situated the Foundry, Smith Shops, Plough Shops, and Stores. Whilst on the northern side are the Engine-Erecting Shop, Thrashing Machine Shop, and other shops for the construction of Mills and smaller agricultural machines, such as Screens, Grinding Mills, Chaff-Cutters, Turnip-Cutters, &c.
The foundry is large and well furnished with cranes and the other appliances of the moulders’ art—especially with patent machinery for moulding, by which an extraordinary rate of production and of accuracy is secured. The smithy contains 73 forges, and nearly in the centre there is fixed one of Nasmyth’s large steam hammers.
Ploughs, for which this firm have so long been famous, are fitted up in a large shop, after the forgings and castings have been prepared in the smithy and foundry. Every plough turned out, and which are numbered by thousands in the course of one year, come under the eye of the foreman or inspector, and are thoroughly examined, to see that every part is correct. Here also are made Horse Rakes, Haymakers, and other field implements.
In the northern block are fixed the valuable engineers’ tools, lathes, stoking machines, &c., necessary for the turning, shaping, and fashioning all the component parts of a steam-engine or other complex machine. Here also the patterns are made, and here the produced machine receives its final perfection. At the extremenorthern end of the factory are the shops where are made the steam thrashing and other agricultural machines, of which wood is a principal component, the wood-work being conveniently introduced into this shop from a detached timber yard, where is fixed all the wood-working machinery by which the frameworks of the steam thrashers and other machines are completely fashioned.
In between the northern and southern parts of the Works the Offices are situated, and it will givesomeidea of the magnitude of the business when we say that last year upwards of 34,000 letters were received and answered. The Commercial Office is 100 feet long, and the manufacturing office 40 feet long.
Our remaining space must be devoted to the productions of the firm.
Everyone knows that the name of Ransome has been associated with the plough from the earliest period of its improvement until its present highly perfected condition, and that in many a well-contested struggle in England and abroad, before all kinds of tribunals, the Ransome plough has been eminently successful, and is manufactured in annually increasing numbers.
The first great improvement in the plough, viz., the Patent Chilled Plough Share was the invention of Robert Ransome, the founder of the firm, and was patented in 1803.Nowthese patent shares are in universal use. Indeed to the improvement of the plough and the unwearied energy of the founder and his two sons, James and Robert Ransome, the firm may be said to owe its origin and subsequent success.
Messrs. Ransomes were also one of the earliest makers of the portable steam engine, and are at the present time amongst the largest producers of this very important machine in the kingdom. Within the last ten years, engines of this class, to the aggregate power of 10,000 horses nominal, have left the Orwell Works.
The steam thrashing machines made by the firm, which possess peculiar advantages of construction, are also produced in very large numbers, and have carried off a large number of prizes.
To the merits of these and other inventions developed and manufactured by the firm, the long line of prize diplomas in the commercial office, the large box of medals, gold, silver, and bronze, the decorations bestowed on partners of the firm by the Sultan of Turkey and the King of Portugal, and, recently, the gold medal of the Paris Exhibition, bear abundant testimony and need no confirmation of ours.
We may just add that the manufacture of railway material, which has formed part of the business hitherto conducted at the Orwell Works, will shortly be transferred to a branch of the old firm, who are building a new factory on the banks of the Orwell. This will give Messrs. Ransomes, Sims, and Head, increased space, and facilities for the manufacture of agricultural machinery, to which they will henceforth give their exclusive attention.
