Interesting stuff. My first lodgings in higher education was at Doxford House, family home (mansion) of the Doxford family, whose company developed marine diesels of this size. The caretaker of the accommodation used to work at the company as a service engineer and told us of climbing into cylinders to inspect wear rates and using a kind of entrenching tool to decoke whilst he was in there. The mansion was pretty much what you would expect of a family that was in one of the most lucrative businesses in the world at the time. Sadly defunct by the time I got there. mike
