| Creator | Wilkie; Douglas Robert (1922 - 1998); physiologist |
| Date | 1950-1951 |
| Description | File of letters, rough notes, and documents, in relation to Wilkie's attempts in addressing the problem of muscular contraction at very high pressure. Includes arrangements for Wilkie to visit various laboratories to see different examples of high-pressure equipment and an application by Archibald Vivian Hill FRS and Wilkie to the R. W.
