| Title | Letter from [Alan Archibald Campbell] Swinton, to [Lieutenant-Colonel] Kenelm Edgcumbe |
| Creator | Swinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer |
| Date | 10 December 1928 |
| Description | Recalls the previous meeting of the General Purposes Committee of the Institution when he was asked to sound Sir Charles Parsons as to whether he would be willing to provide a portrait for the Lecture Hall of John Hopkinson. Informs that shortly after Parsons told him he would prefer to provide a portrait of Sir Joseph Swan, but since then has not had opportunity to speak to him. The most recent update is that now Sir Thomas Callender offered to provide a portrait of Hopkinson, and one of Sir Joseph Swan from Sir Hugo Hirst, and as far as he knows both were accepted. |
