Note: Nomination diagram not to scale BRIEF SUMMARY OF HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION History Summary The former Nugget Polish Company Building, Williamstown was originally built as a steam laundry in 1887-88 for Mrs Eliza Black to replace a similar facility she ran to launder linen for the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) ships which docked at Williamstown. Formerly located in timber buildings near Nelson Place in the early 1880s, the new steam laundry was constructed in Morris Street (later Kanowna Street) opposite the Melbourne railway line, and near the docks area. Designed by Footscray architect, Charles Polain, the substantial two storey brick building presented an ornate street facade to Morris Street. After Black’s death in 1888 the building was offered for sale and purchased by George Thompson in 1892. It continued to operate as a laundry for a short period before occupation by the Silex Soap Company in 1896- 97. After remaining unoccupied for some time, the building was leased to importers and manufacturers, the Standard Centrifugal Company before being again offered for sale in 1907.

  • Thermophysical Properties of Shoe Polish
    AU J.T. 15(2): 129-132 (Oct. 2011) Thermophysical Properties of Shoe Polish Manufactured from Pure Water Sachet Charles Ugbede Ameh Department of Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering Rivers State University of Science and Technology Nkpolu-Oroworukwo, Rivers State, Nigeria E-mail: <[email protected]; [email protected]> Abstract The thermophysical properties of shoe polish manufactured from wastewater sachet was investigated. Wastewater sachet was pyrolyzed at various temperatures to obtain wax yield. The other types of wax obtainable were discussed. A formulation is developed with the wax generated. Shoe polish is made from the paraffin wax obtained from the thermal decomposition of pure water sachet in a reactor. This recovery process helps in the disposing of what was hitherto a waste thereby reducing environmental pollution. The recovered product is tested for its thermophysical properties such as density, viscosity pour point and melting point. These properties were compared with a foreign manufactured shoe polish. The highest wax yield was obtained at a temperature of 160°C yielding 59.8g in 12 min. Keywords: Paraffin wax, pyrolysis, paraffin, reactor, environmental pollution.

  • Sidney Nolan's Materials and Techniques
    Sidney Nolan’s Materials and Techniques: A case study of three Pebble monotypes Katie Wood*, Briony Pemberton and Sophie Lewincamp ABSTRACT As a prominent Australian artist, Sidney Nolan’s paintings are well researched and collected both internationally and within Australia. Less well known are his works on paper, in particular his monotypes, held in collections such as the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria and Heide Museum of Modern Art. Three monotypes made by Nolan in the 1940s will be investigated to better understand the materials used and methods of application. Nolan is known for his use of unorthodox materials and these works were created during an era of intense experimentation. A technical art history methodology will be employed, involving primary and secondary source research and examination and analysis of the monotypes. This research has implications for both treatment and long-term preservation of Nolan paper collections. The research contained within this article was enabled by the long-term treatment collaboration between the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation and Heide Museum and greatly informed by minor thesis research of one of the authors. Keywords Sidney Nolan, monotypes, materials and techniques, techinical art history, microscpy, lakedyes, madder INTRODUCTION MONOTYPES Sidney Nolan (1917–1992) is arguably Australia’s most A monotype is a print, yet unlike any other printmaking famous artist.
