Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 6 May 1982
An out of use Belliss & Morcom turbine that was (I think) 1950s vintage. The view shows the turbine, surface condenser, air extractors and intercondenser, reduction gearbox and air-cooled alternator. It looks like there might be bled steam connections from the turbine casing (and an atmospheric exhaust).
