TitleLetter from R T [Richard Tetley] Glazebrook, the National Physical Laboratory, Bushy House, Teddington, Middlesex, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorGlazebrook; Sir Richard Tetley (1854-1935); British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date30 November 1910
DescriptionHe agrees with most of Larmor's letter, 'but E.P. Martin is dead'. He does not know who the Iron and Steel Institute have nominated and they have two vacancies to fill. Glazebrook discusses other nominations [to the Board and Executive Committe of the National Physical Laboratory] including [John Henry] Poynting and [Arthur] Schuster, although the latter has said that Friday meetings are difficult, as the Victoria University Council meets that day. Of [William du Bois] Duddell and [Charles Vernon] Boys, Duddell would be far more useful, having helped over Campbell's wireless and high frequency work. He is an efficient committee man and they would get more out of him than Boys.
