The workshop looks like Michael Farradays.
You should have the Bridge Telegraph in your Drawing Room with the "Order" sectors reading Guinness; Ale; Pipe of Port; Navy Rum and Ploughmans Lunch. The "Receiver" end of the Telegraph would be in the Butlers Pantry which would greatly speed up service. I think it advisable to retain the FWE sector as the Butler occasionally needs a nights sleep.
