72. Centrifugal pump no 2 machine.
I’m assuming this is the fan pump – on 1 and 2 the fan pumps were situated in pits alongside the wet end, but in what was the end of the annexe, it does not appear clearly in any other photo in this series. The wire pit was different to that later employed for 2 and 3 when they were rebuilt. See the drawing AX411(? drawing number is very blurred and is added by Reed’s and dated 7/4/22? as it does not correspond to other AX drawing layouts, the number bottom left appears to be 35-1 dated Jan 1922 and reference to template pipes not supplied by C. W. & co, presumably the originators of the drawing).
