Model or Part of a Floating Dry Dock, The dock consisted of two halves, one of which is partially proposed by the model. It is made entirely of brass, the construction consisting of angles of angle iron, reinforced with diagonal connections and sheet metal. Partitions divide the bottom into watertight compartments, which are filled to sink the dock, the side cabinets, which widen downwards, in principle remain dry and contribute to stability. The model has a steam engine with a Cornwall boiler with Galloway pipes on deck under a sunroof, which drives two centrifugal pumps for emptying. On deck there are horizontal leveling braces that are operated with winches, for straightening the ship, the ship was then braced with kimblo blocks and rocker braces. 1:20 scale (scale on model)., Koninklijke Fabriek voor Stoom- en andere Werktuigen (mentioned on object), Amsterdam, 1877 - 1878, brass (alloy), wood (plant material), paper, h 95.5 cm × w 357 cm × d 73 cm
