Line 2 - location looks like Althorne (on the Southminster branch)

Tim Lidbetter

line 4 - e..... strap?

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 2, agreed

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 4, yes

Tim Lidbetter

Row 4 - it was the word before strap I was querying. Looks like eccentric but is an eccentric strap a thing?

Scrumpy Geoff

Yes to eccentric. I have come across it before.
"It is used most often in steam engines, and used to convert rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion to drive a sliding valve or pump ram. To do so, an eccentric usually has a groove at its circumference closely fitted a circular collar (eccentric strap)."
