TitleLetter from Carl Braun, Mariaschein, Bohemia, to Charles Vernon Boys
Date2 March 1900
DescriptionBraun hoped he could announce that his work was finished but he has not yet succeeded. Two of the good quartz fibres have broken, originally at the attachment points, then under tension. He cannot explain why the fibre strength should be below the theoretical. He proposes to use lighter spheres. Gives thanks to Boys for sending Mr Threlfall's book. With three sketched illustrations.
