Hi John, NEXUS (Model Boats Mag.) Do an excelent set of drawing by
P N Thomas which he drew for his plan of the Chieftain paddle tug.
these have every part drawn and dimensioned separately and I have
never seen a more detailed plan to work from. Regards, Walter.

The article by Westbury on a set of paddle engines is stored here. the last
couple of parts have a well done set of feathering paddle wheels.

Hi John:

As Tex suggested, I have a number of drawings illustrating different
types of feathering wheeels from the earliest right up to the ones
used on "Waverley". Just let me know for what type of paddler and
I'll dig something out for you.

And talking of feathering wheels, I havn't heard from Mike Mayhew
either. I hope he's okay. Can anyone in the UK find out?
