I thought I would add, that the translation of these drawings is quite challenging and difficult; I do not want to leave the impression otherwise. I have discovered a wonder resource that is a great aid in this endeavor, that being the Google Books site. I have found a German English technical dictionary written in 1910 (actually several) and a similarly dated book on the manufacture of steel. Being a loco that likes staying up into the wee hours beating my head against a computer screen helps a lot too
