Description: | A blueprint, (white line on blue background) of the proposed arrangement of steam piping for Robert Gordon’s Technical College. Scled to 1/4"- 1 foot.There is no location given on the work, other than Robert Gordon’s Technical College, but the piece was amongst other plans for the school of engineering proposed laboratories.
paper
overall: 67.5 cm x 52.1 cm
The stamps on the reverse of the piece are from Marshall Sons and Co Ltd. This is a British agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1848. The company was based in the Britannia Iron Works, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and produced large numbers of steam traction engines, steam rollers, portable engines and agricultural machinery. It would have made sense for the steam piping to be constructed by a firm such as this.
This piece of work is from a group of works including; a set of plans on blue waxed paper (7 of) and other various plans on paper, relating to the School of Engineering and its proposed laboratories.
The items are not all from the same year and a lack of signatures evident on the works as well as differentiation of stamps and dates means it is difficult to tell if they were completed by the same person or architectural firm or not.
However, it is evident that all the works feature the same subject matter (school of engineering laboratories)
These ttems were contained with in a black sugar paper sleeve and are now in Georgina Scott Sutherland Library; Level 5; Room 528; Plan shelving (White); Shelf 1; Tube 4
