We recently bought and installed the Sirocco Fan in our campervan, which we live in full time. The idea was for the fan to complement our two roof maxxair fans we already had installed. Samuel was a very effective strategist – he could think ahead, see the big picture and take bold steps to change the circumstances for his businesses if necessary. An example of this was the retail price of tea. It was still very expensive in the late Victorian era and he realised that if the Indian tea estates and his machinery were to make a profit in the long term the retail price would have to come down significantly and become affordable for the whole population. To fix this he set up the Sirocco Bonded Tea Store, imported and sold tea at a far lower price than usual that forced the larger tea companies to cut their prices too, then closed that company once it had achieved its goal. He brought the retail price of tea in Belfast down from 5 shillings to 2 shillings per pound. Have you got Peter Davis-Garner's modeling book? I was very impressed with the amount of detail he went into with his drawings. According to his drawings, two such ducts would have been seen in between the Lounge bay windows (that is one on each side), and another one along the fore outboard wall of the Reading and Writing Room (the latter not being on Olympic, and there is a Fr. Browne photo that shows this area from 1911 -- no ducting). lounge roof was not extended outboard like Titanic but rather followed the line of the lounge bulkheads which formed the "indentation".

The ventilation system on the Olympic class ships is one in which I've had particular interest. This particular thread may represent a rivet too small for the rivet heads to count but here it is: Sir Samuel Cleland Davidson, KBE (18 November 1846 – 18 August 1921) was a British inventor and engineer. Through his career in the tea import business he invented and patented a number of industrial machines and developed the earliest air conditioning systems. He founded the Sirocco Works in Belfast in 1881.This particular fan housing has corroded away on the outboard side, allowing one to see directly into the fan plenum. Looking at the interior configuration of the fan housing, I could see where the air would exhaust downward out the forward half of the housing assembly. We installed the Caframo Sirocco fan above our bed at the van’s rear. It is very well made and feels like a quality product. It has many excellent features, such as a 360-degree swivel, two power options (12v or 24v), and a very quiet operation. Career [ edit ] Samuel Cleland Davidson with a huge centrifugal fan he designed and manufactured, probably for ventillating a mine shaft. The Sirocco Works on the River Lagan, Belfast, during demolition in 2009 The fan is shown as sitting on the frame in question on the Lounge roof, and I assume the duct would have split to go on either side of the frame, but whenever not intefering with the framing, would be one solid duct. Unless the frames in this area were cut away, but is there any evidence on the iron plans to suggest that there was strengthening in this area due to sections of the frame missing to accommodate the ducts?
