Some Exhibits
From Engineering 1886/07/02:-
'.... a model, we believe full size, of the Eddystone Lighthouse. It has been erected by Messrs. Timmins and Pirrie, of Walbrook, and is certainly a remarkable structure. Round a light, but, as has been proved, amply strong framing of angle iron, walls of extreme thinness are placed. These are made of a kind of cement placed on a coarse cloth. A lift, worked by a gas engine, will convey visitors to the top of the structure.'
'Messrs. Sutherst and Southorn, of Gainsborough, show steel castings, propellers, anchors, tramway points, wheels, pinions, &c. Messrs. T. Utley and Co., of Liverpool, have erected a representation of a section of a ship, in order to show their arrangement of port lights, ventilators, &c. The Pepper Mill Brass Foundry also show brass fittings for ship work. Mr. John Robey, of Liverpool, has an exhibit of a similar character.'
