Under the section Carousels, it is not clear what (c.) means under "Year built". Please explain? I am thinking it means "closed" but it is not clear. Greg Henderson (talk) 22:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The "c" refers to Circa. Amortias (T)(C) 22:08, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Geelong Carousel - clarification request - original manufacturer

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I recently published a new article Geelong Carousel. It has been difficult finding sources that provide any detailed description of the carousel, or its restoration leading up to the re-opening in a new pavilion in 2000. One of the issues I found particularly confusing was the name of the original manufacturer, and hope that someone may be able to assist. The wheels on the horse-drawn steam engine carriage (said to be the original engine for this carousel) are embossed with the name Herschell Spillman.[1] However, other sources, including signboards placed near the carousel say the original maker was Armitage-Herschell. [2]. Adding to the confusion, the "nameplate" painting done during the restoration says Herschell-Spillman. This article Allan Herschell Company, if it is to be believed, indicates that the Herschell Spillman company wasn't created until after the claimed date of manufacture of this carousel in 1892. Can anyone provide any insights or new sources that would help resolve this ?_Marshelec (talk) 23:37, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
