Summary
Small worm drive gearbox attached to an RSJ projecting from the wall on Floor 6. Appears to have been driven by a motor (now missing) bolted to the same RSJ. Drove downwards, perhaps to some form of dosing system (probably involving the blue plastic barrel situated nearby) which possibly fed into the Fine zinc flotation cells on floor 4B. Rubber tube drive from motor remains attached to the end of the worm shaft. 'EBERHARDT DENVER' cast into casing. 'MORSE'S' on serial plate.
