Motor driven Belliss & Morcom air compressors. One appears to have been dismantled with the cylinder block seen bottom right. This was an unauthorised early morning 'bunk' of the site. We ran into the Unit Mechanical Engineer on our way out. He was a bit grumpy and I said "it's all right we're leaving" and he replied "too right" or something similar. He didn't realised we'd already been there for a couple of hours and been all round the surface. Very naughty but it's all now a distant memory.
