| Title | Letter from Balfour Stewart, Kew Observatory to [Edward Sabine] |
| Date | 6 October 1864 |
| Description | Stewart is unsure whether Mr Moritz application was made with Professor [Adolph Theodor] Kupffer’s approval and remarks on ‘a little jealousy between them’. Refers to the knife edge regarding the pendulum experiments. Received a note from Mr [Richard Christopher] Carrington in which ‘he speaks in very strong turns’ about Mr [George Biddell] Airy.
Includes a letter from [James Palladio] Basevi to Sabine. Basevi asks which pendulums should be used in the Indian experiments. |
