  <dc:title>Letter from Richard Sheepshanks to the Marquis of Northampton, [President of the Royal Society] </dc:title>
  <dc:description>Regarding the loan of an invariable pendulum to Ernst Knorr, including detailed observations on the [Henry] Kater's pendulum design. Sheepshanks is wary of this type of instrument being issued as a loan to Knorr and suggests an addition of a bar pendulum to [George Biddell] Airy's construction at the expense of £30.
