A small structure built after 1877, situated between the Hydraulic Pump House (NPRN:405091) and the Pellet Press House (NPRN:405095). The Nobel Plan (No.71 on the Nobel Plan) describes it as a magazine but Moses annotates it a hydraulic accumulator, i.e. a pressurised reservoir for the hydraulic presses in the pellet press house. No trace found.
