TitleLetter from A C [Alfred Charles] Egerton, Government House, New Delhi, to F S Barton, Director of Communication Development, Ministry of Supply, Thames House, Milbank
CreatorEgerton; Sir; Alfred Charles Glyn (1886-1959); British chemist
Date11 September 1948
DescriptionEgerton states that he must put together a short statement on behalf of [Sir Robert Alexander] Watson-Watt for the Royal Society Council early in October, but he has no means of gettng the necessary 'facts' and will not be back in time. Sir Ben Lockspeiser suggested to Egerton that Barton would know the information about Watson-Watt's achievements, and so Egerton asks if Barton could prepare a 200-250 word summary of these achievements in electrical science and the applications of radar. [The original envelope for this letter is also included].
