Notes:
When Queen Victoria had Nautilus fire grates installed at Balmoral Castle and Osborn House, demand for them grew substantially. The design by the Petter family firm was based on the internal shape of the Nautilus shell by means of which the fumes and smoke circulated in a chamber before being drawn out through the flue at the rear.
In 1881 James Petter invented the Nautilus grate, in 1882 he showed his Nautilus grate at the "Manchester Smoke Abatement Exhibition" Queen Victoria visited the exhibition, and installed these grates to the Royal homes soon after. By November 1883 the firm was advertising the 'Nautilus grate by James B Petter, Nautilus Works, Yeovil" nationally in the "The Times"! It was later featured in "The British Architect" 29th March 1895.
