Letter from Thomas Gold to Dr R A Lyttleton FRS, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 183-500, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena, California Regrets that there is no time that any colloquium audiences can really be gathered in the summer at Cornell, and there are only three people other than himself who have any interest in or knkowledge of the slowing down onf the rotation of the Earth, and they will be away all summer. So it really looks prety hopeless. Discusses possibilities of Lyttleton coming over. Ststes S.K.R. has published a pompous theorem in magnetostatics that Gold believes to be manifest rubbish. He will attempt to provide a disproof and publish it. It is in Phys. Earth and Plan. Int. 10 (1975) 327-335 12 July 1976
