The letter is from H. B. Peirce, General Superintendent, Public Works Department, to The Executive Engineer, Madura Division, stating the willingness of The Director of Kodaikanal Observatory to have a handle of winch inside; the complicated arrangements proposed formally may be altogether dispensed with, and a cog wheel gearing direct with a pinion may be introduced instead.
