Ring Mechanical Monsters at the Fall of Gondolin?

Did Tolkien intend to eliminate mechanical dragons from his account of the fall of Gondolin?

If so, how this should be accomplished in a re-edited account?

I am setting this up as a separate discussion because it is a separate issue from any other problem with the fall of Gondolin. Changing the dragons from mechanical contructs to dragons of flesh and ichor would effect nothing else in the account, and nothing else in the account affects this issue.

It will be easier to keep track of arguments and proposed changes if this is a topic unto itself outside of the main Fall of Gondolin discussion.
