Doxford’s diesel ship engine stockyards, 1957-58.

Check out the full gallery. The scope and quality of the photographs is amazing.

Translated from Russian:

“NPO Energomash is the leading company in the world to develop powerful liquid rocket engines for space launch vehicles, one of the world’s leading high-tech products. The history of the company dates back to May 15, 1929. Over the years they have developed some 60 rocket engines that remain operational in space and military vehicles.”
