: Bruce:
: I think you have made a very good educated guess.
: A couple of other pieces of evidence to consider:
: 1. Look at the enpaper plan of Titanic in Triumph and Tragedy. It looks like they placed a door very far forward on the starboard side.
: 2. Look at the Titanic rigging plan. If I'm not mistaken, I think they place a door in the same area.
: The Olympic plan in Anatomy shows a 35" Sirocco in this area. These big 35 inchers were like those with the big curl vents near the forward two funnels. It is probably like the ones that duct into the bulkhead on the port and on the aft of the deckhouse under #2 funnel. Whatever it is we can definitely see ducting into the deckhouse under #4 funnel on Olympic.
: Could this be a possible arrangement?: Everything as you said with the aft three windows (screens)
: then the duct for the hot air ventilator forward of them, then a window, then the Sirocco duct, then a second window forward of the duct, then a door forward of this window?
: Since Mike Pell has been the door/window maven maybe he'll weigh in. Maybe I just ruined his weekend with this question. :-)
: You are right though, this area of the Titanic has been nearly impenetrable. Maybe something will turn up.
Hello Bob, I just got back into town and am trying to catch up on the mail. I'll send you a response to your questions in e-mail shortly. I have also just received a ton of stuff from David Cotgreave for the Tutorial and was editing it into the appropriate segments. I'll have a look at the #4 layout and send you a list of what we have there. It may be complete or need updating with all the new finds streaming in. It is hard to keep up with the changes! ;)
