Definitely a lost brand, I only found one hit for “Ball’s Giant Compressor”, and there isn’t much more for the Ice & Cold Machine Co, St Louis MO.
Not quite a lost brand, but not far off it, as it was merged to form Mirrlees Blackstone a part of Alstom. Mirrlees were the builders of the worlds third diesel engine, and at one stage held the exclusive right for the diesel engine patent in the UK.
