Hi All.
Has anyone got a copy of the drawing SL/SW/84 WATER INDICATOR GRADUATION PLATES. The paper drawing I got years ago, from the NRM, seems to have the left hand side of the drawing chopped off. There are some dimension lines disappearing off the left hand side, probably to the side view of the graduation plate, which has a raised, radiused, graduation plate, showing the tender contents in gallons. If anyone has a copy that shows the whole drawing", I would be very grateful for a copy of it, to enable me to make an accurate model. Even a copy/scan of the left hand side would be a great help. "Thank You" to anyone who can help.
Bob.

Hi Bob, Are these of any help? The drawings are from a copy of the Derby Works GA drawings of a Britannia Tender, sadly I can't recall which book and author the photo of the Britannia tender came from, it's somewhere in my collection. Jim
Edit: I forgot to mention the photo shows a tender with the water scoop operating handle and indicator missing to prevent accidents as the tender was operating in a region that did'nt use water troughs.

Hi Jim.
Thanks for that. A very handy photo. Adam has said he has the drawing and if I am interested, he can produce a casting, so that is the way I will go. The biggest problem with fabricating an indicator plate is that the lettering/numbering, on the indicator is raised as the original is a casting.
Bob . Edit:- I now have a copy of the drawing I wanted to replace my 'half drawing' I got from the NRM
