First floor 73 objects out Free, no booking

Engineering drawings with a steel set square and a brass protractor lying across them

The iron hand press from Harbour Street is in the middle of the room and we run it twice a year. Around it: type, a composing stick, playbills, shipping notices and funeral programmes.

Drawings are the other half. Most are in the plan chests upstairs because linen and light do not agree, so this room shows six and the register lists the rest.
