Triplex Grates : catalogue cover : Triplex Foundry Ltd. : Great Bridge, Staffordshire : 1937

            A very period feel to this colourful catalogue with the stylised cook. Triplex grates and ranges, coal fired, allowed the use of a back boiler to provide economic use of the open fire grate attached to the oven and hobs. However, by the late 1930s the use of coal fired ranges was in steep decline, certainly in new properties as the more convenient gas and electricity appliances held sway. In addition the 'upstart' AGA range probably also held more appeal for those still using coal or coke.

Triplex Foundry was set up in 1919 and started production at Great Bridge, Tipton, Staffordshire the following year. Over the coming decades the company grew and diversified, especially into the automotive sector,  eventually becoming the Triplex Foundries Group.
