Through the
years has Babcock
& Wilcox Vølund opened there doors to the workshop for the
members of Senior Club.
Therefore was it obvious that the senior club should participate in this project.
At the Christmas party at
28th november, the team had found Henry Pedersen (center of the picture). Henry
Pedersen have hinself driven steam rollers in the around 1950, and he could tell
a lot about engines.
