application of these lights to practical uses is exhibited in a
great variety of ways, and very excellent methods of adjusting
heavy pavement lights, cellar flaps, etc., by equilibrium and
rolling motions with the minimum amount of physical exertion,
and without damage to the lights, are also shown."

- "The Hammond"
- "'Hammonds' of the Dublin. — Business revived by
Scotsman David Frame in 1902. He gifted 86 acres of Bray Head for
the development of public park in 1922 and eventually established
Irish Steel in the 1930s." —Grace's Guide
- "grants for equipment and expansion" —National Archives of Ireland
- "Despite the evidence to the contrary, Dubliners were
devoted to the notion that the city was being over-run by country
people and foreigners, and were particularly devoted to the notion
that migrants were displacing Dubliners in employment. ... If they
faced opposition in the city, that opposition was not confined
merely to the streets, but also surfaced in political debate. In
March 1907, a speaker at a meeting of Dublin Corporation complained
that the Hammond Lane Foundry employed "only Scotsmen and niggers".
In reply the manager pointed out that the workforce was comprised
of 87 Irishmen, 15 Scots and one American, and that the employment
of the foreigners was the consequence of the lack of specialist
skills in the local labour market." —National Archives of Ireland

- "The last foundry to operate in Ringsend was Hammond Land
Foundry. The firm is still in the area, and since 1898 has
become one of the biggest metal recycling works in Ireland,
but there is no foundry anymore. Evidence of this famous
foundry can still be found on lamp posts and manhole covers
in the area." —Four Sisters, Kurt Kullmann

- "Repercussions were felt within twenty-four hours. The first
major victim was the Hammond Land Foundry in Pearse Street, the
country's largest. One day after the ban went into effect, the
company announced that it would be forced to close down, and put
some two hundred employees out of work. The cause was the lack of
coke for the furnaces. The news sent shock waves through the
country's industrial landscape. It was the first complete closing
of any major industry since the fuel shortage began in the early
stages of the Second World War." —Ireland's Arctic Siege of 1947

Stangate Glass Works,
Lambeth, London [?-1840s-?]
- See Christy's coal plate
- "Very little is known about the glassworks of J. F. Christy at
Lambeth. Surviving examples attributable to his firm all date from
the late 1840s, when he was producing painted opaline glass in the
manner of Richardson's of Stourbridge, who were the leading producers
of painted glass at this time. Like Richardson's, he produced
ornamental wares inspired by Greek vases and by contemporary French
opaline glass." —British Museum
- "Mr. Christy, of the Stangate glass-works, having kindly
contributed a series of specimens of the actual materials
employed in the manufacture of flint-glass, as used for phials,
chemical vessels, barometer and thermometer tubes, &c.,
as well as of the glass itself in the successive stages of the
process, that process was detailed. The materials, essentially,
are silica, in the form of fine sand, from Lynn, in Norfolk,
or from the tertiary strata of Alum Bay, in the Isle of Wight;
potash, in the form of pearlash; or soda, in that of purified
soda-ash; and protoxide of lead, in the form of litharge;
red-lead being sometimes employed, in which case a portion
of oxygen gas is liberated during the process. The result of
the intimate mixture and complete fusion of these materials,
together with a portion of broken glass of the same description,
for about forty-eight hours, is flint-glass." —Abstract of a Lecture on the Nature and Physical History of Glass
