Gilbert in Gilmore's Barbershop.

 

 

Two views of a gutted area on board Gilmore. A section of the ship from keel to upper deck was cut out, leaving a wide open hole. From plans on Orion, this area appears to be Nucleonics related or one of the Engineering Spaces

 

 

Back on Orion, Frank Morgan sorts and stacks the parts on the after Quarterdeck.

 

 

The compressor starts its journey up from the Machine Shop in a starboard ladder well.
