TitleCopy letter from Herbert Rix, to Dr Scott, Old Palace, Richmond
Date6 January 1894
DescriptionRix states that they will arrange to show Scott's lantern slide, and though he may be able to show them all in the time available, they recommend 25 as the number that can be safely explained in 20 minutes. He also refers to an improvement in their facilities for showing diagrams, which will allow him to show them by successive sliding screens.

He suggests that Scott send them to reach the Royal Society the day before the paper is read, and ensure that they are hung in a suitable manner. He states that there is space for a large number to be shown successively, rather than simultaneously.
