Weatherley includes a chapter On the Machines to Buy and How to use them (page 110)where he recommends one brand:
"Colliers, of Rochdale, are excellent, and their efficiency is guaranteed by a host of testimonials. Some houses have a large number of the old style drop machines..."
Luke Collier and Son Ltd. was established in Rochdale in 1835. Luke Collier Jr. had travelled to Australia to join the gold rush, but he had very little success. He returned to Rochdale to work at his father's brass foundry, where he started to engineer machinery and tools for confectionary makers, bakers, fruit preservers and chocolatiers.his first manufactures were drop rollers, only 2 inches long and 1.3 inches diameter. He became a frequent visitor to Germany to learn from competitors.
Weatherley also mentions steam pans:
"Through the introduction of steam pans for making these [comfit] goods, so great a revolution has taken place in the method, and also in the prices, that they are to be purchased genuine at a less price than the sugar itself was only a few years since."
In 1891 Brierley invents and patents the first ever rapid boiling pan. The first pan of its kind to have rapidity of boiling and evaporation. This pan revolutionised the confectionery trade, allowing a batch of confectionery to be boiled in ten minutes, compared to a previous 30 minutes, as well as improving the color.
Collier and Son Ltd. eventually merged with two other local businesses, and became Brierley, Collier and Hartley in 1924. The company continues to make food-making machinery to this day; they are still based in Rochdale, but have customers from all over the world.
