Specification building for Benbow (1885), Camperdown (1885) and Anson (1886)

36 page specification for building Benbow (1885), a 16.25 inch gun Admiral class barbette ironclad, and also for Camperdown (1885) and Anson (1886), both 13.5 inch gun Admiral class barbette ironclads.

The specification is heavily annotated with alterations on the blank side of the pages that look to relate to the progress of one of the ships, possibly Anson, as the signatures under the last page of annotations include J. C. Froyne [Chief Constructor, Pembroke Dockyard, 1883-] and G. A. Malpas [Constructor, Pembroke Dockyard, 1878-].
