| Description | Written from 47 Old Broad Street, E.C. London. The letter reminds Brunel that Billingay has written to him previously with a very good plan for launching his Leviathan ship and compares this to the plan reported in that morning's paper to use an endless screw, which Billingay believes will be a complete failure. The letter asks Brunel to give Billingay a short interview when Billingay will persuade him of all the advantages of his plan. |
