Title	Letter from Isambard Kingdom Brunel to Henry Wollaston Blake
Description	The letter returns to Blake some indicator cards that Brunel accepts as good but declares that the indicator itself is defective and works too slowly. The letter also confirms that the place of engineer overseeing the screw engine should be kept for Blake's candidate and promises that Mr McLennan is sensible enough to give a good engineer some latitude but that there should be a clear hierarchy in terms of the engineering crew.
