Rec RFG 8 JUL 13

I am directed to inform you that a request has been

made to the Council of this Association that they should

furnish gratuitously examples of electrical machinery and

apparatus to be installed as demonstration apparatus at the

University of Hong Kong. The request is in the name of

Professor C.A. Middleton Smith, of the Engineering Faculty,

who is now in this Country and appears to be well recommended.

In the event of my Council being satisfied that they

should accede to the request, my Council would consider

of pounds, having regard to the desirability or encouraging

the use of British machinery abroad.
