1906 · Parsons Turbine · Werk 199 von 1.871

A Parsons turbine rotor for the Mauretania being lowered into the open lower half of its cast casing at the Wallsend works, the rotor a long solid steel drum on a shaft with rank upon rank of short closely-set blades ringing the drum in complete circles along its whole length, the casing half beneath it lined with matching rows of fixed blades, overhead crane chains taut, fitters guiding it into place in cloth caps, waistcoats and shirtsleeves, the hall lit by daylight through the roof glazing.
