BroomWadeOn this page you can download a pdf scan of the book "A Recorded History of CompAir BroomWade". This was written in 1998 to celebrate the Centenary of BroomWade (1898 - 1998). As explained in the book CompAir was actually formed when Holman merged with BroomWade to produce "an organisation with the resources to compete effectively in world markets.... the name of the group was the International Compressed Air Corporation. Four years later the name was changed to CompAir, the title acquired from the BroomWade apprentices, it was title of their magazine. They were paid the handsome sum of £50 for the name..." This book provides a compelling insight into the early days of the compressed air industry and the way the company has evolved over the years.
