Default Heritage Pipe Bending - Royal Navy Dockyard

Today's visit to Chatham Dockyard and the pipe bending workshop. Mightily impressive and the pictures describe it better than I ever could.









Strange how life works but just uploading these photos taken today I noticed that this pipe bending workshop produced the torpedo loading rails for the submarine HMCS Okanagan that I visited in 1966 as an 8 year old - I'll let you do the math....

Great to see how it was done back then.

Invention is a combination of brains and materials.
