View of two wagon turntables demonstrating how wagons could be directed along tracks at oblique angles

View of two wagon turntables demonstrating how wagons could be directed along tracks at oblique angles. The turntable furthest away from the photographer is located at a junction of two sidings which are set approximately at 150° to each other as well as connecting to another turntable. The same turntable has a turntable stop key located at 180° to each other with the right hand one engaged to prevent the turntable from moving when the wagon moves on to the siding. Behind this turntable a dumb capstan is evident.
