J L Eve C15 0.1□″ SCA

Contents
Overview
J L Eve C15 0.1″ SCA is one of two sets of towers designed for the joint NEE SL1–MEE SL2 (North-East England and Mid-East England) scheme. Alongside the 0.1□″ SCA type, Eve also designed a 0.15□″ SCA type.
The drawings all have corresponding C15 and C23 numbers. Possibly one range was for NEE and the other for MEE; the C23 numbers were added afterwards as all cross-drawing references use only C15.
This type is presently only known from a very short line in Abergavenny, South Wales.
