CreatorShaw; Sir; William Napier (1854-1945)
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date27 April 1903
DescriptionShaw states that a person should be appointed with a definite plan for how the meteorological observations from the Antarctic expedition should be dealt with. Shaw fears he would not have enough time to devote to it, but the Meteorological Office does have the machinery required for the 'mechanical part of the process', and does not want the work to drift into a 'dead lock'.
