Greetings All
Can anyone on the list help??
Whilst on holiday in Greece last year I happened
upon a largely intact (but derelict), steam-powered 1930s olive oil soap
factory. I would like to correspond with anyone who may be able to help me to
identify the various types of machinery and processes common to such a
plant.
Further info. also sought on a French (?) steam
engine manufacturer Georges Averly of Lyon (sic); and an American
supplier of steam governor assemblies marked: "Pickering Combination" of
"Portland Conn. U.S.A.".
Many thanks in anticipation.
Paul Vigor.
