[D8732AAV], Letter from William J Jenks to Charles Batchelor, June 18th, 1887

Editor's Notes

First page: "Thanks for your note of yesterday. We are gratified. The wind is evidently fair, and the new cutout certainly seems to be promised a prosperous voyage. ## I have been thinking a good deal about the placing of this cutout in the lamp itself. If this can be done, no change will be needed in the socket and a vast amount of trouble and expense saved. The sketches I send are of course merely suggestive, but may be of some use. ## What do you think?" Second page: Drawings of two lamps. "It may be better -- I supposed it certainly would be so far as the heat of the lamp may affect ties spring, to put this device in the stem of the lamp as near the socket as possible." Third page: Drawings of two lamps.
