2. Belliss and Morcom. Excerpt:
Founded in 1852 in Birmingham, West Midlands, it is now a division of Ingersoll Rand based in Redditch, Worcestershire, England. Shortly after completing his articles of apprenticeship, in 1862 George Edward Belliss acquired the engineering business of R. Bach and Co, then located at 13-14 Broad Street, Islington, Birmingham. In 1884, Belliss invited Royal Navy engineer Alfred Morcom to join the firm as a partner. Previously chief engineer at Sheerness dockyard, he had gained a first-class certificate in steam engineering at the Navy's training college. Today the company manufactures, supplies and services oil-free reciprocating compressors, with a specialist division focusing on recycled PET plastic moulding.(Submitted on April 2, 2024, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
