7.	Upright press, Hagley Yard		Gunpowder	Typed caption: "This was not a prismatic press. It is the remains of an upright press and judging from the surroundings I believe it is the upright press in the Brandywine Hundred section of the Eleutherian Works. The upright press used for making hexagonal and sphere hexagonal powder was destroyed in the big explosion, Tuesday afternoon, October 7, 1890. It was located in the Christiana Hundred side of the Eleutherian Works the Upper Yard and was not rebuilt on this location. However, we went across the creek and built a similar press for making this kind of powder and this picture suggests the successor to press destroyed on October 7 1890. John W. Macklem."
