Fitters at a row of belt-driven lathes under a line shaft: heavy cast iron lathes on iron legs, each driven by a flat leather belt running down from a pulley on the overhead line shaft, one man scraping a bearing on the bench while swarf collects in wooden and sheet iron trays beneath the beds, the men in waistcoats, shirtsleeves, aprons and cloth caps, the shop lit by daylight through tall windows and gas lamps.
