| Description | Written from 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London. The letter explains that, although Brunel is not satisfied with the results of the recent trials of the strength of the chain cable manufactured by Lenox & Co, he does not despair of its eventual success. Brunel also expresses his disappointment at the results of the trial of the single bolt and requests Lenox send Brunel a piece of his best 2 inch chain so that it can be directly compared with the 2 5/8 inch chain. |
