Top view of the cylinder cover: Inner ring: high pressure cylinder, outer ring: low pressure cylinder. The inner rod as well as the 4 outer rods are fixed to the circular weight to which the 8 beames are attached (see previous photo).
2 inspection hatches are open: one on the high pressure cylinder and one on the low pressure cylinder. Also note the 5(!) safety valves located on the outer side of the low pressure ring.
