Description:
The Laboratory was located on floor A of the building in the northern wing immediately to the east of the entrance onto Whitworth Street. Taken from the north east corner of the laboratory, the shot is angled south west and shows in the foreground placed on low platforms of dark glazed bricks a pair of generators linked by two drive belts. There are further generators placed along the northern wall while in the centre of the laboratory there is a brick lined pit positioned in which is a sprung platform on top of four metal wheels. Placed on this are four riveted metal boxes, east of which rise an equal number of flexible pipes emerging from the pit and then curving over the tops of the boxes to halt just above their rims. Fixed against the western wall is a large bank of dials, gauges switches and levers and at the same end of the laboratory set in the southern wall a door which provided access to the corridor which ran through the northern wing of the building. About midway along the southern wall hung close to the ceiling is a simple box clock similar in style to those found in many of the rooms in the building. The laboratory was located on floor A of the building in the northern wing immediately to the east of the entrance onto Whitworth Street. There is a small number ‘46’ printed in the bottom right hand corner of the image and the number ‘30’ written in ink on the reverse.
