I have partially created the autoclaves and am designing how everything is connected. Hopefully I am close to what actually existed.

Autoclave shop
I am part way through construction of the extraction plant autoclave shop. The autoclave heats the bark shavings in water under pressure to create liquid extract for tanneries. I have a number of pictures of vintage autoclaves but no pictures of how they are connected so I will use my imagination to create the machinery involved. Thus far I have constructed most of the building not including the roof.
The building consists of an internal wood frame covered with corrugated metal sheets. I inserted three large industrial windows to hopefully allow the machinery inside to be seen after the roof is installed.
Below is a view of the internal wood frame.
The floor is card stock.
