Description
Collection of photographic negatives depicting "Young & Fyfe Retort bench erected at Hopetoun Oil Works in 1906" also "Atmospheric Condensers erected at same time". All originally from A & F Craig & Co. Paisley.
This is a series of photographs documenting the construction of "Young and Fyfe" shale oil retorts at Hopetoun Oil works in 1906 by A F Craig & Company Ltd. This design of retort was presumably a development of the Young and Bielby retort incorporating improvements made by John Fyfe of Young's Company.
