'Warrior' (1860)

Scale 1:48. A plan showing the proposed positions of the furnace for molten iron, and fan to be fitted to the broadside ironclad 'Warrior' (1860).

This equipment was intended to supply the filling for Martin's molten iron shells. A system for preparing these shells was fitted, although it is not certain whether it followed the layout depicted on this drawing. Further research into this particular area is required.

Signed by Thomas Lloyd [Engineer in Chief of the Navy in 1861].
