The
shipping department of the Science Museum in South Kensington
(London) was closed a couple of years ago to make room for a new age.
Unfortunately I became aware of this too late to go back and
take detailed pictures of the exhibits that are now in storage
somewhere in the country-side outside of London. The pictures
below were taken during a chance visit with an unsuitable
camera. So apologies for the poor quality. The selection was
determined by what interested me at the time.
