Stromness Harbour Diesels

A six cylinder diesel in the Stromness Harbour power plant, showing the generator still connected on the right of the picture. The guards for the flywheel and the coupling are still in place. I don't think the "comfy chair" was an original piece of power plant equipment!

A Ford side-valve (flat top) V8 engine powered generating set on the right and a cylinder head on the left with the main switchboard 
in the background.  (Thanks Dave.)
