79. No 2 Machine 8/8/21.

Rapid progress since 21/7/21, with much of the dryer framework erected, and many drying cylinders emplaced. Drive gears stacked along the annexe wall.

The trussed structure in the upper machine house appears to be some sort of movable scaffolding and may be associated with the construction of the ceiling as it is not the electric bridge crane that later ran in the machine house. The manual hoist bridge crane appears in other photos to be the one used for erecting the machine.
