TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Francis Darwin, Foreign Secretary, Royal Society
Date14 May 1907
DescriptionHarrison explains that Louis Brennan seems willing to repeat his demonstration of the mono-rail at the June Soiree and asks if the staging and apparatus could be left at the Royal Society for this purpose until June. He notes that though it would be an attractive exhibit, it depends on whether Darwin is willing to have the timbers in the meeting room for the next month, and whether it is advisable to limit the space available in the meeting in such a way for the ladies' night. With the President's authority he has kept the staging around the room stranding until the Committee meets, but the platform has already been removed.
