85. Fitting Cylinders No 2 m/c, 9/9/21.
Cylinder lifted with manual chain block hoists (electric bridge crane not yet installed) by (presumably) Charles Walmsley’s erectors.
Temporary SG siding laid across machine house north end to bring in machine components, this siding turned off the main siding through 90 degrees and rose to machine floor level. Visible on the trolley is what appers to be the pulp conveyor hoist cabin (compare with photos of the completed pulp conveyor), why this should be in the machine house is not clear as it is too big to pass through the opening to the wharf side to be moved to the conveyor. Potentially it has been assembeld in the machine house from components brought in by rail and will be moved around on the SG trolley. NB that wooden trolley, either the same or a similar one to that seen earlier on the wharf, looks like one that still existed in the early ’80s and languished on the then derelict weighbridge siding by the base of the water tower (blow ups of photos taken during the departure of the last chlorine tanker from APM East, c. 1983/4).
