Compartment containing Red Oak Victory's electrically-driven gyrocompass. This is the heart of the most accurate and precise system aboard that indicated the ship's direction of travel.
According to tags on the control panels, some or all of this Sperry Gyro-Compass system was manufactured under license by the Dodge Division of Chrysler Corporation.
History of Sperry Marine (company web site):
www.sperrymarine.com/corporate-history/sperry-marine
SS Red Oak Victory, a Boulder Victory-class cargo ship built during World War II, is the only survivor of the 747 ships built at the Kaiser Richmond Shipyards. She is one of only three surviving Victory ships, larger and faster than the earlier Liberty ships.
Launched as SS Red Oak Victory, she was named in honor of Red Oak, Iowa, a town that had suffered a disproportionate number of casualties during the war. She was then commissioned as a U.S. Navy cargo ship, USS Red Oak Victory (AK-235), serving as an ammunition ship in the South Pacific until the end of World War II.
Red Oak Victory was crewed by the U.S. Merchant Marine during activations in support of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and several international relief operations.
Today she is a museum ship, berthed at what remains of the Kaiser Richmond shipyard.

I believe this is a Compass Flower, or "Silphium laciniatum". It was growing on the banks of Bear Creek and was approximately 4 feet tall at the time the photo was taken. A mature specimen can grow to be 6 to 12 feet tall, so it can be assumed this plant is not fully mature. The compass flower typically prefers full sun and moist to slightly dry conditions, and this flower was found by a creek in moist conditions with nearly direct sunlight. This plant is a primary producer and provides a food source to many insects in its community. Long-tongued bees are the main pollinators of the compass flower, and many insects feed on the leaves and stem including cicadas, beetles, and wasps. Additionally, these plants have long taproots and an extensive root system which helps to hold soil in place and provides a food source to the many insects living in the soil. There were other young compass flower plants growing along the creek as well. It is clear that these flowers are an important part of the creek's ecosystem as they are a food source to many other organisms.
Compass Royston's Volvo B12B/Jonckheere SHV, which carries a plain cream base livery with company fleet names, is pictured here on Station Square, Whitby. 12/07/17
New to Proctors of Leeming Bar; this vehicle was previously registered as FJ60EJV, carrying a distinctive and luxurious black livery when new in mid-2010. In line with the company taking on more work for Lochs & Glens Holidays, the vehicle was repainted into a simple cream base livery with Lochs & Glens fleet names in early 2011.
In early 2017, this vehicle passed to the fleet of Compass Royston. Unusual for the company, the coach remained in the cream base livery, with company fleet names added, rather than the more common white.
