The Atlantic Telegraph Expedition: the paying-out machinery of the Great Eastern - from a sketch by our special artist, 1865. 'Before parting with the Great Eastern on this occasion, we must invite notice to the Illustration of her paying-out machinery, erected near the stern of the vessel. We earnestly hope that next year, when this machinery will again be put in use, the laying of the Atlantic telegraph will be accomplished with the utmost facility and safety'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
