Alfred Mylne's design practice encompassed a broad range of vessel types, with motor yachts becoming increasingly significant through the twentieth century. Twin screw configurations offered practical advantages for vessels requiring enhanced manoeuvrability and redundancy. The designation M.Y. (Motor Yacht) reflects contemporary nomenclature. The survival of single drawings, whilst the majority of associated documentation may be absent, is not uncommon in large design archives spanning several decades. Such gaps may result from loss, dispersal of records, or incomplete cataloguing of historical materials.
