| Description | Two undated extracts. The first from Sir Clements Markham's speech to Royal Geographical Society, referred to in Professor Gregory's letter of 24 September 1901 [see MS/547/5/120] in which he makes reference to pendulum observations being taken with 'an instrument supplied in this country'. The second from a letter from Markham to the Treasurer of the Royal Society, in which he states that he handed the arrangments for the pendulums over to [Robert Falcon] Scott in December 1900. Markham remembers Gregory telling him that the Melbourne plan 'was given up', and in May 1901 Scott confirmed they were borrowing the pendulum from Kew. |
