David Yeomans (correspondence, 2 August 2001) wrote of the composite beam design 'This is the strangest thing that I have ever seen and there are some puzzles. What strikes me first is that it would be more obvious to make up something symmetrical ....' The unnecessary complexity of the design where, for example, 'the use of timbers 2¼ inches wide making the beam less than 7 x 14 inches when it should have been possible to find a timber that size' is not due to Dance since drawings [SM D1/12/58], [SM D1/12/59], [SM D1/12/57], [SM D1/12/60], [SM D1/12/56] and [SM D1/12/40] are not in his hand and are assumed to have been made by a carpenter.
