"New sails and stocks"

"All timber to be planed to finish at the sizes shown, and to be pressure treated against decay. All metal work to be hot-dip galvanised (not zinc plated) or stainless steel."

Pargeter, Vincent G (1943-2015), millwright

"Downtown (Surrey Docks) windpump"

Note on reverse: "Sailcloth flapping as it approaches & passes base of tower; filled out for rest of rotation. Tower too slender to be cause of this & ground-sail clearance of 2.2m-2.3m in large flat open area cd hardly be cause either".

Buckland, John Stephen Percy (1935-2006), mill researcher

"Surrey Docks windpump"

Note on reverse: "temporarily backwinded, sue (apparently) to erratic, occasional & unpredictable sticking of mill-head, not because tailvane's too small".

Buckland, John Stephen Percy (1935-2006), mill researcher
