 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (created by Cbl62 on 11 April 2018), long enough (3,518 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, supported by online source. QPQ done. Image fine, has appropriate licences. Good to go, but I strongly urge that the following be undertaken before it runs:
 * That the "Invalid designation" error in the Infobox be fixed up
 * That the convert template be widely used for the benefit of the people who are not early 20th century historians, and have never heard of stones, chains, barrels and feet.

 * Symbol question.svg Hello, I came by to promote this, but I notice that some parts of the article lack footnotes. In particular, the information about cleaning stations, and the appearance in the novel Pier Rats. In addition, the timeline section would probably work better in prose form.
