  • 7:50, that's the diesel generators for the site.

  • 7:22, that's the brass base casing for the gun.

  • 6:00 big wrenches! 6:55, that's the door/platform they would pass powder cartridges through from the powder room.

  • You'll notice the support rails go 360 degrees around the bunker...they took the lessons of Singapore and guns that could not be turned around, to heart.
