Upper scuttle value cover in the gate of the number two Govan Graving Dock, Glasgow.

You can tell that this houses the upper scuttle valve because it says so right on the cover. It also tells you what the open and closed positions for the valve are.

Knowing what an upper scuttle valve does, and when you should be opening or closing it, is quite a different matter!
