Description E55: Type Address - Manor Royal, Crawley, Sussex, England. Made Note E55: Type The centrifuge was used until 1994 by the Technical Services Dept at Tooheys to clarify beer samples before analysing it for bitterness. The centrifuge clarified the beer by spinning out the yeast. A UV visible spectrophotometer was used to analyse for chemicals which cause bitterness. The motor of the centrifuge has about 12 months life of frequent use left in it which is why Tooheys decided to dispose of the unit. Used Note E55: Type Centrifuge was purchased new by Tooheys.

See parts for individual marks. Marks E55: Type Les Blakebrough was the manager of the Sturt pottery from 1959-1972 and head of the Sturt craft workshops from 1964-1972. He was influential in providing a model for production of ceramic tableware, and for training apprentices. He moved to head the ceramics department at the Tasmanian School of Art in 1972. During his career he concentrated on both making large vessel shaped exhibition pieces, and on the refinement of domestic tableware, culminating in the 1990s in an interest in designing for industrial production. He has been commissioned to make many dinner sets. These settings are from one of the earliest significant commissions. Designed Note E55: Type Made by Les Blakebrough, Mittagong, 1970 (see above) Made Note E55: Type Commissioned by Dr Jean Battersby, executive officer of the Australian Council for the Arts (est 1968) in 1970 (Australia Council from 1975). The Council was in its formative years and hosted committees and others for business and public relations lunches. Battersby wanted to use handmade ceramics to further her cultural cause, rather than use commercial tableware. The commissioning process for corporate use was less common at the time, unlike the present where this is seen as a sought afterand legitimate marketing opportunity. A senate enquiry in the mid-1970s raised questions about use of public funds for these purposes. Battersby arranged to send the luncheon set to the Crafts Council of Australia (est. 1971, now Crafts Australia) as a travelling exhibition. It toured all or most of the state crafts council offices before returning to CCA. It was one of the first travelling exhibitions organised by the CCA. In 1989, selected items were toured with the retrospective exhibition of Les Blakebrough's work, organised by the Tasmanian School of Art. This was mounted in the Hyde Park Barracks venue of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences. In 1994, Craft Australia sought to donate the collection to the Museum. The sets had depleted by this time so a selection only was made. Two further settings (and a soup tureen and platter) were donated to the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston.
