The engineering company for this was was based in Melton Mowbray. It was T. Cowman & Sons, and I believe that there is a Martin Cowman, civil and marine engineering contractors. Martin Cowman was established in 1946 (probably about when this photo was taken), but whether related to T Cowman I don't know. I think that T Cowman had something to do with electricity installation.
Woods grading scrapers are designed to handle more material in fewer passes.
• Heavy-duty mast plate creates more down force for smoother surface and virtually eliminates washboard effect
• Adjustable skid shoes and scarifiers increase performance
• Tall side frames hold more material for leveling
• Approachable leading edges and structural reinforcements keep scraper stronger for longer
• Reversible/replaceable high-carbon cutting edges

Volunteer, Smith Island Crab Scraping Boat, 2002.
In the shallow waters around Smith Island, watermen harvest crabs in boats like this replica. Dragging a special dredge called a crab scrape behind the boat, they rake up peeler crabs hiding on the bottom. The boats have a low draft, allowing them to get around in shallow water, where blue crabs hide in eelgrass to shed their shells. The low sides on the boat make it easier to pull the crab scrape up over the side.
