Posthumous Awards
At the International Health Exhibition in London in 1884, The Gold Medal was awarded for the Jennings’ Pedestal Vase. In a test, its 2 gallon flush washed down ten apples of average diameter 1 ¼ inches, 1 flat sponge about 4 ½ inches in diameter, plumber’s smudge coated over the pan, and 4 pieces of paper adhering closely to the soiled surface.
Jennings also posthumously won for his firm, the Grand Prix at Paris in 1900, for his syphonic pan which had been a major development in lavatory design.
