| Title | Letter from Arch [Archibald] Geikie, Haslemere, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Geikie; Sir Archibald (1835-1924); British geologist and historian |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 30 July 1910 |
| Description | He has Larmor's letter after a visit to 'poor [Henry Enfield] Roscoe'. He returns [Richard Tetley] Glazebrook's letter for the archives and if he undertakes the proposed work, it should be on condition that it may be required for the International Catalogue. Geikie hopes that Germany will agree to continue as other goverments have committed themselves. He has no forebodings about their abstension wrecking the enterprise. It was his impression from the Convention that the International Catalogue Committee should be stirred to greater action. John Milne asked Geikie for an interview. He is losing his two assistants and feels the burden of the station, with its international correspondence. He would not be unwilling to hand over the work to an institution. [Arthur] Schuster is thinking of moving the Central Station from Strasbourg to Britain; Turner believes that the Royal Observatory at Edinburgh, which Milne thinks the best site, might take over the work. Larmor and Schuster might speak of it while in America. |
