| Title | Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to William Turner Thiselton-Dyer, Fellow of the Royal Society |
| Date | 17 November 1894 |
| Description | In reply to Dyer's note received this morning, the man who superintends the electric light installation is sent by Messrs Drake & Gorham and is a kind of superior foreman. The Society pays the Messrs £5 a year for the general superintendence and inspection; any work which has to be done is paid for separately. The Society does not now run its own engine but obtains current from the St James' & Pall Mall centre. When the Society had its own engine they employed ordinary engineering journeymen sent by Drake & Gorham, but they had one or two cases of drunkenness and disorder and are glad that this arrangement has terminated. |
