Transcription
This is a photographic negative produced by photographer Ian Beesley. This was part of a project called 'Thackray Remembered' (Thackray 2011) which was commissioned by the Thackray Medical Museum to document the closure of a Thackray factory which manufactured hip and knee replacements. It was taken over by the American company DePuy who moved production to China.
This image shows two men wearing black DePuy uniforms talking to each other over a machine control panel of sorts. Both of them are wearing eye protection and a wristwatch. There is a small curved part sat between the two men, possibly ready to be worked on or having just been worked on.
