              Part of Correspondence from Poona and other Observatory

              John Evershed, Director of Kodaikanal & Madras Observatory, wrote this letter to Gilbert T. Walker, assuming they might be getting the prism from Poona Observatory. He mentioned sending correspondence about the new micrometer and a specification. He devised another much simpler method of reducing moonlight comparable with 1st magnitude stars, which seems quite successful. He also proposed purchasing a Hartmann machine from private funds to save time and trouble.

              Walker, Gilbert T.

              This letter was about informing Gilbert T. Walker of sending a slide of the Nova Acquilae Spectrum with Arctururs above it for comparison taken at the Kodaikanal Observatory on the night of June 19-20.

              Part of Correspondence related to buildings in Kodaikanal Solar Observatory

              This letter is from John Evershed, Director of Kodaikanal and Madras Observatories, to Gilbert T. Walker, Director General of Observatories. This talks about the sanction for petty construction and repairs, which amounts to Rs.500, which is insufficient as the estimate is based on average expenditure for the past 3 years

              Evershed, John

              This letter is from John Evershed to G. C. Simpson, Director General of Observatories, in reply to D.O. No. 6347 about the visibility of eclipses from India and Mesopotamia in 1920. It was mentioned about the difference between Indian Standard time and Mesopotamian times of the eclipses.
