how come a hole in the wall is such a cool invention? “The entire history of architecture is concerned exclusively with openings in walls”. So said Corbusier, father of modern architecture. Of course he was right, the architect’s basic art is to design pleasing and functional holes in walls to let things, people, light and air in and out of buildings. No wonder then, that the type of temperature control system being manufactured by McAlpines goes back to the basic hole in the wall concept. Surprisingly, the idea is still considered new in the field of air-conditioning. Somehow conventional systems have gotten off the simple track by becoming involved with massive centralised cooling plants. Just one big ‘window’ for an entire building or floor with air pumped along a complex maze of expensive and often unsightly pipes and ducts. If the one big window shuts, everything comes to a stifling halt. This cumbersome process f? 1 ’ / rJk struck McAlpine as impractical. A ® And unnecessary. That’s why ’ S*. ' three years ago they became the Australasian manufacturing licencees of the highly successful Singer-Remington Incremental Air-Conditioner. / Fjfr ''W It’s just a hole in the wall— Z# / /4/ housing the necessary temperature control 7 / I W machinery.

For a COMPLETE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SERVICE low initial outlay just the grilles can be fitted during construction. followed by heating and then cooling units as required. And since each office unit is individually controlled, temperature and time of use can be economically adjusted according to need. So take a close look at some of the most recent well-designed buildings around town; chances are you’ll discover that what you thought at first glance was simply a decorative element is actually part of a McAlpine Singer-Remington Incremental Air-Conditioning system. A cool hole in the wall, in a grand structural tradition. This is just one aspect ©f McAlpines wide experience in designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems engineered to customer requirements of efficiency and cost. But McAlpine is not just industrial and commercial systems, their Prestcold range of domestic appliances and McAlpine central heating touch the home life of thousands. Isn’t it time you put your temperature control problems into the hands of the McAlpine experts?
