You will recall we recently reported that we had bought the materials and manufactured 6 vacuum reservoirs. The picture shows why we needed to do so!!

A bit "second hand"

 

We required 2 for 2874 but it was more economical to buy the materials for 6 . Thus we have, or had, 4 spares - I am pleased to report that have now sold 3  of the remaining 4. 

The vacuum resevoirs came as 6 pieces of tube, ends were produced and welded in, fixing brackets made and affixed togetther with the flanges required for the attachment of the pipe work.

Another skills transfer and a profit to support us going forward.

Well done to all involved as usual a superb team effort 

The picture shows two of the finished articles.
