From the field notes

Cast-iron valve wheels line a steel manifold, their spokes thick with grease and grime. A large cylindrical vessel stands to the left, bolted and dark with oxidation. Overhead pipes angle downward into shadow. Beyond the machinery, daylight spills through an opening onto exposed red brick. The floor is black, slick with decades of residue. The air here would smell of rust and old oil.
