Scale: 1:96. Plan showing the body plan, stern board, stern counter construction, sheer lines with inboard detail, longitudinal half-breadth, and midship section, section through Station 35 and Station X for a proposed 160ft, 64-gun, Third Rate, two-decker warship (no date). This has been drawn on the reverse of an unused Progress Book page.

The ships eventually built to 160ft are the 1745 Establishment and the Temple class (1756), copied from HMS Vanguard of the 1745 Establishment.
