Thanks for the info
will this come out?

Sorry about the "grainy" nature of the scans, as the booklet is on mottled paper. and the diagrams have a green background.
Dated 1958 this was original set up of the station ,which was later converted to oil firing (don't really know when). There is a note in the book that it was intended to install a further 60 MW set by 1962, which if I remember correctly was never fitted. I only visited the station in the early 80's when the plant was approaching shutdown status. Well kept, two things I remember, The general office had an indoor Ivy plant which nearly covered all four walls and was thriving. The Board room overlooked the Yarrows yard from which we watched the launch of HMS Battleaxe (the training course I was running at the time was temporarily suspended)
Ps Cell Quite happy to help where I can . assume you can access my Email address
