Mechanical Engineer Names

[NW Mailing List]

To add to Ed's comments, my Giants of Steam book gives a lot of information 
about designing the J and streamining details.  Also the book shows 
photographs of the various proposed streamline schemes which I was able to 
use from Frank Noel's collection; the text of the J chapter tells about 
Frank Noel and his role in streamlineing them.
