3321. And that of course, is again tube work, of what you would call the ordinary London type, such as, the Baker Street and Waterloo? --- Yes.
3322. That is the idea of construction that you have in your mind? --- Yes.
3323. Does each of those carry one or two lines? --- Each tube contains one track.
3324. Will you let me have the point of junction with the South Eastern and Chatham; I cannot see exactly where it is from here? --- Will you just explain it shortly so that the shorthand writer can get it? It will join the South Eastern and Chatham precisely where? --- immediately north of Snow Hill Station there is at present s junction of lines between the South Eastern --- which goes around to Moorgate Street --- and another line ( I do not know whom it belongs) which runs up to Farringdon Street Station. I propose, immediately north again of that junction, to come in with my lines from the Clearing House.
3325. That is sufficient description, I dare say, for my engineer to follow. Will you be up and down in that tube or about the same level? --- There is a considerable drop there, but it is a balanced drop.
3326. You could go down with a rush and come up with a rush? --- Of course you cannot compare the gradients I use on my tube system.
3327. But it approximates to that ideal? --- Yes.
3328. What is that drop? --- The total drop there is about 40 feet.
3329. And it comes up to what level? --- The height of the Clearing House is the same as the height about here (Indicating) on the rise into Ladgate Hill.
3330. It would be about the same? --- It is not quite balanced ; Ludgate Hill is a little higher.
