G'day guys,
Just joined this forum after a Google search for Samuel Platt.
Samuel Platt was my 5 x great-grandfather.
I've been researching my family history for about 15 years now, and have collected a bit of info on the Samuel Platt foundry & the equipment made by them.
I have a few photo's on my website at SAMUEL PLATT LTD
I don't know a lot about the machinery but if you have any questions regarding the foundry I'll try and help.
I'm in touch with a bloke in England who has collected a few of the hammers and is a blacksmith. He seems to know quite a bit about these hammers.
Cheers
Malcolm.
