  1. Tony - I've checked with the Record Office and as they have the document it's their copyright. If in the public domain it would be time limited.
  2. Thanks Heartland. Have seen the above in Stafford as well as many other documents. I think I am due to see the construction documents this week. Do you have any reference numbers?
  3. Many thanks David and Pluto - what you suggest makes sense! It is an isolated document - I thought I read something when signing up to the forum that said you shouldn't post copyright material - the copyright being held by the Stafford Record Office. If I've got this wrong I'll post it.
  4. Whilst researching original documents relating to the Staffs and Worcs Canal in Stafford Record Office, I came across an "Abstract of Cutting of Canal above Dunsley Rocks Page 27". I don't think I'm allowed to post the image but it is divided into four sections: First Depth, Second Depth, Third Depth and Fourth Depth. The left hand column appears to be headed "Stations" (difficult to decipher) under which the numbers 1-23 appear giving 23 lines across the document. Each 'Depth' has a number of columns: First Depth has 'Soil', 'Gravel', 'Rock at 1d' and 'Rock at 3d'; Second Depth has 'Soil', 'Gravel', 'Sand (?) Rock', 'Rock at 1d', 'Rock at 2d', 'Rock at 3d', 'Gravel Rock at 3d' and 'Rock at 4d'; Third Depth has 'Soil', 'Marl', 'Sand' Rock', 'Soft Rock at 1d', 'Gravel Rock' at 3d, 'Gravel Rock at 4d' and 'Rock at 6d'; Fourth Depth has 'Soil', 'Marl', 'Sand Rock', 'Soft Rock at 2' (no 'd') and 'Soft Rocks at 2d'. Various figures are entered into the boxes although most of them are blank. The First Depth has figures in all 23 lines under 'Soil'; the same is true for the Second Depth apart from line 18. Other figures are dotted around the boxes. Along the bottom each column is totalled eg First Depth Soil is 7479.8. Can anyone help me to decipher what this is all about? What are the Depths? What are the Stations? What units are assumed for the various materials? Why do the Depths have different headings/materials? Why are there so many blank boxes? (For example, there is only one entry under Gravel in the First Depth (Line 22: 109.7))
  5. It works! Many thanks for your help. We can be warm again on the boat. Julian That would be great! My email address is julianat103@aol.com. Many thanks. Julian
  6. Still learning how to use this system - now understand that you have edited "Dr" to "Er"! I may be slow but I get there in the end ... Still learning how to use this system - now understand that you have edited "Dr" to "Er"! I may be slow but I get there in the end ... Are you able to forward it to me?
  7. Thanks Phil. Sam the engineer who fixed the Heatmaster at Foxton seems to think it difficult to light the burner using a lighter. Googling 'Dr the Lighter' doesn't bring up anything helpful. I'm going to clean everything up and see if I can get any joy (not to mention heat).
  8. Hi David I had our Ellis Heatmaster renovated by Foxton about a year ago having experienced exactly the same problem as Charles above (very helpful - great job) but it has failed to fire up today having been left over the winter. The ignition is not producing any spark (it did for a while this morning but then stopped all together). Do you still have a copy of the operating manual? Lying full length on your front on a cold wooden floor to see what is (or isn't) going on is not my idea of fun so any helpful suggestions would be gratefully received at julianat103@aol.com! Many thanks
