Trumpington Street. Representing a formula for a helical screw propeller, this piece was constructed with the help of the Engineering Department's workshops.

Kenneth Martin (1905–1984) was an English painter and sculptor, who together with his wife Mary Martin and Victor Pasmore, was a leading figure in the revival of Constructivism in the 1940s. An exhibition of Kenneth and Mary Martin’s work was held at Tate St Ives in 2007. Kettle’s Yard (Cambridge) has also recently held an exhibition of their work.
