[image: along left of page, 2 sketches of sphinx and model in shed - top elevation, front elevation]

The Sphinx & model are each 6ft wide, & require 6ft between & on each side for use of workmen.

They are each 15 + long. & require 10 ft at each end for workmen, stoves & tools -

They are each 9 ft high, & require about 6 f over head for workmen, & probably the stone one cannot well be lowered with much advantage from the height - she is left by the car. (of this however I am not sure.) If so you have 20 f to the roof over the statues, & 25 f to the ridge pole
