FROM THE NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY, TO THE CROWN AGENTS.

PROPOSED POLICE LAUNCH.
We have received a letter from the Colonial Secretary,
Hong Kong, dated 20.9.1934 (reference No. 1561/29 D/S: FW.)
instructing us to carry out model experiments in connection with
a Police Launch for service in Hong Kong waters, and enclosing
the necessary plans and information to enable the test to be made.
We estimate the cost of this experiment work to lie
between £290 (two hundred and ninety pounds) and £350 (three
hundred and fifty pounds), the exact figure being dependent on
the amount of work entailed. As the Colonial Secretary's letter
states that you will be responsible for our fees we shall be glad
to hear at your early convenience that this is in order.
Meanwhile the experiment work is proceeding, and
Mr. W. Sprague, Assistant Government Marine Surveyor will represent
the Hong Kong Government at the tests.
Yours faithfully,
(Sga) T. L. BAKER.
Superintendent,
The William Froude Laboratory.
