73. Beater house 7/7/21
This view is notable for showing the temporary cladding for the west end of the beaterfloor section (as it was then) and the concrete wall to the powerhouse, both with openings left for temporary railway tracks to enter so that machinery could be brought in (visible in some later photos in this series). Several photos of the interior of the beaterfloor, and some external views such as this, show the beaterfloor extending past the original turbine house, though later on this extension was incorporated into the powerhouse – there was no internal access on the upper level from the white beaterfloor to the kraft beaterfloor, and this later arrangement is shown in the plan loaded next (old proc water bw).
The verandah or loading stage seen here was later extended with the construction of the kraft beaterfloor also the pulp conveyor.
