F W Hawkesworth/K J Cooke designed Pannier Tank - not what Cooke wanted but GWR directors decreed that a 'modern ' steam loco could not have a dome! See K.J. Cook: Swindon Steam 1921-51 , Ian Allan 1974. Excellent, informative and readable account of 30 years at Swindon Works and its locomotives and working practices by someone who worked with Collett and Hawkesworth.
