Description | Discusses the Treasury's offer to provide half the costs of printing and publishing the Oxford portion of the [International] Astrographic [Chart] Catalogue [as long as the printing cost does not exceed £2000]. Informs them of Oxford University's reply, offering to pay the other half, as long as the printing cost does not exceed £1400. Explains the difference in information regarding the upper limit of the printing costs, and suggests that it is now expected to come to around £1350. Assumes that when the work is completed it will be sent to home and foreign observatories, the same way that the Greenwich portion of the Catalogue was. |
