Backbarrow, Blue Works, Settling tanks for finer grade Blue

"The liquid from the 100 tanks is pumped to further settling tanks where a third and finer grade if blue is obatined termed 120"

There is a curious piece of graffiti on one of the tanks on the right of the photo of what appears to be a Japanese Warrior with a flag and Samurai sword.
