| Title | Letter from [Thomas] Vickers, Secretary, The British Cast Iron Research Association, Central Houswe, New Street, Birmingham, to Professor [Charles Scott] Sherrington, President, Royal Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W.1 |
| Creator | Vickers; Thomas (fl 1923); Secretary, The British Cast Iron Research Association |
| Date | 1 March 1923 |
| Description | Outlines the efforts of an association to improve the Cast Iron Industry in the UK, which has been in a poor state for years. The association seeks the Royal Society's support and potential funding, particularly in light of Sir Alfred Yarrow's recent gift. Emphasises the industry's importance as the foundation of many other industries and describes the need for scientific research and financial support to make necessary improvements. Highlights the success of similar research in the US and Germany and suggests a meeting with the Royal Society's Council to discuss further details. |
