Letter from Richard Tetley Glazebrook, National Physical Laboratory, Bushy House, Teddington, Middlesex, to Arthur Schuster Does not think there are great differences between them but discusses various resolutions. He thinks that Schuster should make clear whether Scotland is the best place for his observer in atmospheric electricity and that the new observatory might have an undisturbed site for taking records. If provision is to made in Eskdale for a Meteorological Institute then the question of the site becomes more important. Notes current committee structure and financial arrangements for the new observatory. Negotiations with the Treasury have gone on for some time and it is important to resolve the matter before Sir Francis Mowatt's retirement. Glazebrook is on the Committee on the Meteorological Office, the deliberations of which may result in an experimental enquiry department of the Meteorological Office with a laboratory and equipment; this would be easier to secure with National Physical Laboratory committee control. He hopes that Schuster will move something along these lines and offers to meet him, asking if the Privy Council enquiry is public. 16 December 1902
