Description:

Black and white photograph of the interior of the engine room at the John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester, showing one of three original Crossley Brothers horizontal gas engines, which were removed in 1950, when the Library ceased to generate its own electricity. Four men in boilersuits are standing beside the engine. According to a pencil inscription on the reverse, the figure second from left is [Samuel] Ramsey [assistant to the engineer]; the right-hand figure is [Robert] Clements [handyman (engine room)]. The figure on the left may be Richard Harris, engineer, and the figure third from left may be James Winderbottom, assistant engineer.
