Copy letter from Herbert Rix, to Mr H Lindfield, Portland Works, Portland Road, Notting Hill 'Dear Mr Lindfield, The President has just been in and in half a dozen words has said that all work is to be stopped till after Thursday. I hope this will not very seriously inconvenience you. He probably has some other scheme in mind, & it will be advisable not even to go forward with the preparations, such as moving the coil or the like. Yours truly Herbert Rix Asst Sec RS [Assistant Secretary, Royal Society]'. 2 December 1893
