Drawing of Penarth pontoon

The plan and front elevation drawings from the article in the Engineer published on 24th September 1909. The centreline split, half-way along the length of the pontoon allows for self-docking, whereas, the longitudinal split line running about 20 feet from the port side permits the dock to be disassembled prior to entering the Penarth Dock.
