A smith at his bench working on a nearly completed spring in the spring making workshop in Number 5 Machine Shop in Chatham Dockyard. He is holding the spring in his left hand while using a tool to mark the position of the cut he is going to make to separate the spring from the wire, which is being held in a vice. An electric drill stand, a tin of electrodes and a wide range of tools are on his bench. A variety of completed springs are laid out on the bench in the foreground.
