This is the top of the Green's economiser with the scraper drive mechanism. The small steam engine driving it is at the far end and the belt comes towards the photographer to drive the scrapers via the self reversing mechanism on the right. Examples of this may be seen at the British Engineerium, Hove, Mill Meece Pumping Station, near Eccleshall and Claymills Victorian Pumping Station, Burton-on-Trent. See - Image
