John,
The following links might be of interest.  Looks like these commissions =
are no more.  Maybe one of the following will enable you to find someone =
in the UK who knows about the drawings you seek.

Also, I'm not sure it's relevant anymore, but there was an almost =
identical query to the blacksmith's junkyard a couple years ago, with this =
response:

"Dasher [email protected] Tue Aug 29 00:38:19 PDT 2000=20
"CoSIRA=20
"For those seeking to get hold of books published by CoSIRA, I just looked =
them up in a (paper) directory. Seems that CoSIRA was absorbed into a =
larger organisation, back in 1988. Now known as the Rural Development =
Commission, their main address is: Dacre House, Dacre Street, London,SW1.=
=20
phone is +44 (0)207 340 2900, no fax given, add your own codes to replace =
'+' for international dialling. <snip> Apparently, CoSIRA used to use =
MacMillian Publishing, New York. MacMillian may prove to be a useful =
source for tracking down copies of their books. "

...and this conclusion from the original poster of the query:
"Paul Mc [email protected] Wed Aug 30 15:17:39 PDT 2000=20
"Was Cosira=20
"The Countryside Agency
"After some research on the web I found CoSiRa. They are now part of the =
Countryside Agency. They are also republising the various blacksmithing =
books and catalogs. The site says that they are also still selling the =
full scale 'working drawings' from the catalogs...I have a Email out to =
them to confirm this...=20
"They have three catalogs availabe, Catalogue of drawings ? wroughtironwork=
 gates Catalogue of drawings for wrought ironwork Catalogue of drawings ? =
weathervanes=20
"Plus the publications via our local blacksmith book sellers.=20
"Answered my own question on this one...thanks for the help anyway.. Paul. =

Hope this helps.

Thanks GHS.  I've tried searching for Rural Development Commission, but
still no luck.
