| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | These works are situated on the north and south sides of Scotland Street. The business was started by the late Sir William McOnie and his brother Mr. Peter McOnie in 1839 for the manufacture of sugar machinery; and in 1888 they were joined by Mr. Robert Harvey.
The works on the north side of the street comprise erecting, machine, pattern, smiths', joiners' shops, brass foundry, and brass-finishing shop; also the offices and drawing office. There are four travelling-cranes driven by power from the main engine; two are in the erecting shop and two in the machine shop.
On the south side is an additional and larger erecting shop, containing a powerful strain travelling-crane to lift 30 tons, also a large lathe, and planing and boring machines; the heavy sugar mills are erected here. At right angles to the erecting shop is the boiler shop, fitted with the necessary planing, boring, and flanging machinery, and with hydraulic power for cranes and riveting machines. The special machinery made in these works is for the production of sugar from the cane, and for sugar refining. |
