1852 Company established by Christian Schiele
However, according to a notice published by C. Schiele and Co in 1863, "Mr. Schiele never was a member of the North Moor Foundry Company, such Company being composed of persons who were formerly in the employ of Mr. Schiele, and to whom Mr. Schiele granted licences on royalty for his old Patent Fan of 1851, and Turbines of 1852 and 1855, and which licences Mr. Schiele withdrew in January of this year (i.e. 1863)."
1853 Patent. '2892. To Christian Schiele, of North Moor Foundry, Oldham, in the county of Lancaster, Engineer, for the invention of "improvements in preventing undue oscillation in engines, machinery, carriages, and other apparatus."[2]
1860 Schiele & Williams of the North Moor Foundry Co supplied a steam turbine-driven ventilating machine for the troop ship Indus. The impulse turbine and the double flow centrifugal fan were on the same shaft, and discharged 600,000 lbs of air per hour.[3]
1862 Description and illustrations of Christian Schiele's patent turbines made by the North Moor Foundry Co. The vanes are described as being similar to Jonval's, but with the water entering the runner's vanes at the centre and leaving at both ends (i.e. double exit), so as to avoid imposing a thrust load on the drive shaft. Guide passages could be isolated individually to reduce output, giving good part-load efficiency.[4]
1862 Awarded a medal for their steam 'turbins' and fans at the 1862 London Exhibition.[5]
1863 Patent. '2429. To William Hoehl, Christopher Brakell, and William Gunther, of the North Moor Foundry Company, Oldham, in the county of Lancaster, for the invention of "improvements in rotary engines worked by steam, water, or other motive power."'[6]
1863 Maker of Platt and Schiele's Compound High Pressure Fans.
1869 Maker of Brakell's patent fan (see advert)
