the text on this picture is
Quote:
“The Perkins patent steam oven of 1866 was adopted in that year by the War Office for use in the British Armies at home & abroad. It baked 90 four-pound loaves every 2 hours.
The mobile bakery of today not only bakes but mixes the ingredients, divides the dough into pieces, moulds them to shape and bakes them at a rate of ten thousand five hundred two-pound loaves per eight hours.
Depicted here in its regulation camouflage colours it is imposed on a background of view of a train load of field ovens leaving our works in 1914-18.”
