[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, & prob-
ably 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
