I just saw a bound edition of "The Engineer" in a search for "Engineering". Both were printed in London on the same street in 1910. It has a picture of the forecastle of Olympic, a picture I have never seen before, on the launch of the ship. The picture is looking aft from the anchor well slightly to port. The ship seems to be built to B-deck, still under construction. The anchor chains are not in place, but the bollards are. It was a supplement to the magazine and the librarian informed me that this was a special edition of the bound copies, so this source may be very rare. Also these magazines give the names of the manufacturers of the machinery on-board. I had only a half hour with the book, when the library closed, but in the weeks ahead I will try to get a good look at the documentation and post it here.
Sincerely,
James Pepper
