TitleLetter from W C D [William Cecil Dampier] Whetham, Upwater Lodge, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorDampier [formerly Whetham]; Sir William Cecil Dampier (1867-1952); British scientist and agriculturalist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date17 July 1913
DescriptionWhetham has been at Bushey [House] and found [Richard Tetley] Glazebrook 'much perturbed' by the Parliamentary situation. He believes that any time a protected instrument is used, such as a key or switch, the country is to pay 10% of the gross receipts to the company. He considered this momentous, but thinks that the Marconi Company should be superseded soon. In a postscript, Whetham has his 'own private grumble', on the Money Lenders' Bill in the House of Commons, thinking that a solution to name changes might be to make this impossibe without showing good cause.
