Casting a Monster Cylinder, at Messrs. Scott Russell and Co.'s Building-Yard, Millwall, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Casting a Monster Cylinder, at Messrs. Scott Russell and Co.'s Building-Yard, Millwall, 1854. Metalworking in London during the Crimean War....the casting of the last of the four largest cylinders in the world was successfully accomplished at Messrs. J. Scott Russell and Co.'s building-yard, Millwall. They are intended for the new iron steam-ship now being built...for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, which, when completed, will be the largest steamer afloat. The cylinder cast last week is 18 feet long and 6 feet in diameter; 33 tons of metal were poured into the mould, but when bored and finished off, it will weigh about 28 tons, or 62, 720 lb...She is to carry 12, 000 tons of coal--sufficient for a voyage round the world'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
