Copy of an engineer's drawing of the Newport Transporter bridge.	Class31	Wednesday 29th of January 2014 02:04:12 PM
Hi Class31, would you happen to know who the engineering company was who drew this drawing/general arrangement? or more importantly were I may be able to find a copy? Thanks in advance for your time and help.	cmgj	Wednesday 29th of January 2014 01:12:37 PM
Hi cmgj The attached photo was taken in one of the rooms at Tredegar House where the drawing was lain on a table, unprotected. I guess that it is a copy. I thought that it was worth photographing. I'm afraid that I didn't make any further notes.	Class31	Wednesday 29th of January 2014 02:04:12 PM
