Rolls Royce Cylinders at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

    I hadn't realised this fact either! I'd assumed (never do that..) Rolls Royce took care of their own things elsewhere and not within another makers factory. These engine blocks may not have ended up as wartime equipment either - Rolls Royce were, and still are, renowned for their reliability. The engines could also have ended up in shunting locos or even rare items such as emergency winders for mines should their headgears fail.

21 inch Triple Deck Torpedo Tubes

from North East Museums

  • Howard Dickins said:
    Land based torpedo tubes? Or are they just being stored there before being fitted on a ship?
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    They might have been there for torpedo trials. We recently added an image of a torpedo being fired from a similar spot www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/18855229355/in/dateposted/.

    These are great! I wonder if any old strays are still embedded in the mud on the opposite side?? I recognised the torpedo tubes immediately. Although updated, modern tubes use an almost identical discharge system. Armstrongs was a world leader.

Royal Mail van built at the Scotswood Works

    Lets hope the clutch was smooth!

    Interesting how the radiators are fixed to the sides of the engine cover too.
