Hi,
I am writing some new interpretation for Newton Abbot Town & GWR Museum.
We have a 1922 warning notice, which appears to be quite common, ours made during James Milne's tenure as GM, although the order dates from Felix Pole's time:
"Warning is given against the dangerous practice of propping up the doors of merchandise trucks for the support of coal weighing machines, for loading or unloading traffic, or for any other purpose....."
Can someone help me visualise this dangerous practice, please?
Thanks
