Committee Correspondence on the Printing of the Refraction Section

Four items copied into the Committee's Minute Book, marked “NOT PRINTED — FOR THE USE OF THE COMMITTEE ONLY.” The Director lays Dr. Ambrose's instrumental record before the Chairman; Mr. Aldous Treherne, F.R.A.S., urges caution; the Chairman rules that the readings be printed factually within the Report, and that all comparative material be confined to a separate appendix.

Physical: 7 pp.; two tones — institutional blue-grey and camp-stationery buff; four items in letter format
Date: February–June 1909 (dated items range 12 March to 20 April 1909)
Status: Copied into the Minute Book by order of the Committee, for members' use only
Relation: Directly explains the editorial structure realised in the Annual Report's §§45–55 and Appendix I. Should be read alongside both.

“A reader who wants the facts and a reader who wants the speculation need then never trouble each other.”

— Sir Aubrey Lister-Hume, Chairman, 20 April 1909
