The engine room's order telegraph is seen, like everything else on the MV Farringford, looking spic and span with its polished brass bezel. A. Robinson and Co. LTD of Liverpool and Glasgow were a manufacturer of all types of deck products for ships and their items today, such this one, that has been recovered from ships attract premium prices in the collectors market. Notice the can of EEZIT oil next to the tools and a tin of Swarfega that looks like it may contain something else? EEZIT still exist today but in the specialist lubricant market and is not the same as the far better-known 3-in-One oil that we are more familiar with.
