| Title | Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, Shepherd's Down, Haslemere, Surrey, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Geikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | December 1909 [?] |
| Description | He is amused by [Adam] Sedgwick's 'thunder'. He gives an account of the Speaker's letter to 'The Times', the accidental address of 10 Downing Street, and the misunderstanding of rules and statutes. Geikie is writing his reply: 'I never saw a case where one side could so work itself into indignation in absolute ignorance of the position of the other side'. He will see the amended regulations on Kew before expressing an opinion. A properly constituted Gassiot Committee should be able to make representations to the Meteorological Office and have some form of financial veto. |
