Sem títuloThis letter is an extract from U.O. to the government of India, Meteorological Department, on 11th November 1911 regarding dismantling the telescopes and their packing for transit from Poona observatory to Kodaikanal and Madras Observatories by the then Director J. Evershed. In this letter, it was mentioned that the telescopes should be handled with great care, and it was also said that J. Evershed or his deputy should control the packaging by visiting Poona. John Evershed also replied, agreeing with this letter.
Sem títuloJohn 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.
Sem títuloIn this letter, the Deputy Traffic Manager mentioned that Thomas Royds can send the telescope by wagon by unbroken gauge route if he wishes, with proper packing. And also asked to advice the District Traffic Superintendent to make necessary arrangements to send the wagon through over the South Indian railway.
