| Post subject: | Steam Locomotive Grabbing Crane. |
I have an 'Arrangement of Gearbox' drawing for a 5-ton steam locomotive grabbing crane, built by Joseph Booth, dated 1945 which I have no research interest in. The drawing (a photoprint) measures 50 x 35 cm and, whilst I realise that this is not a breakdown crane related item, perhaps the BDCA has a dedicated library / archive and would consider adding it to their collection. Failing this, I am happy to pass it on to any member expressing an interest. best wishes to all Brian |

Hi Brian I have an interest in anything related to cranes and would be glad to take it from you and have it noted that I have got it for future reference to anybody that may want to reference it in the future, that is if the BDCA have no need for the drawing. Regards Mick |

Mick, I think you'd provide an appropriate home for the drawing as (a) the BDCA doesn't yet have a formal library and (b) as Brian says, it is not BDC related. |

Thank you for that David If in the future bdca are thinking of setting up a library I have material that can go in to it, and I may even be able to help set it up with you. Mick |

That's a very kind offer, Mick. Finding somewhere suitable for the material to be stored and accessed could be a problem but a solution might be for members to hang on to their own material but to post a list of what they hold and their conditions for viewing or lending. The Members Only section of the forum could be the ideal place for such a list and I'll see what can be done as soon as I've cleared my current backlog of work. |

Hello Mick, Apologies for the delayed response, but I am now in a position to send the above drawing. However, I am not aware of the protocol for exchanging e-mail or postal addresses on the Forum, perhaps David could advise. ATB Brian |

The PM system would be the normal channel for member-to-member communication such as requesting an email or postal address. However Brian and Mick have established themselves as very responsible members so I shall send Brian's email address to Mick. I disabled the forum's member-to-member email facility as that could provide a route for spam from outsiders. The risk would be extremely small - it would take a lot of effort by a persistent person - but the PM system precludes the need for it. You should be able to see a 'pm' button at the base of each post. |
