TitleLetter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to Henry Wollaston Blake
DescriptionThe letter reminds Blake of Brunel's earlier letter requesting the return of the tracings of the super-heating apparatus and the list of articles included in Watt & Co's tender and asks for it to be immediately sent to him, along with a sketch of what Blake proposes to do to install the apparatus on board the Great Eastern so that Brunel can raise any problems that he sees. The letter also raises the need for the plans to include considerable room for access from underneath the super-heating apparatus for cleaning and inspection.
