| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The main shops extend to a length of about 230 feet by about 120 feet in width, and occupy the ground floor, being lighted from above. The travelling crane in the central building travels the entire length of the shop, covering an area of about 230 feet length by 40 feet width. The side shops, which are largely utilized for the lighter machine-tools, are also efficiently supplied with hydraulic and other cranes.
The main engineering shops are fire-proof; and standing apart from these are the pattern store and offices, which are separate buildings. The work carried on is the manufacture of machine-tools for boilermakers, shipbuilders, bridge-builders, and iron works generally.
A number of special machine-tools are made for flanging, bending, riveting plates, &c., in connection with shipbuilding and marine engineering; and hydraulic pumping-engines, accumulators, hydraulic machine-tools, and cranes, &e., are manufactured. |
