| Description | A letter about experiments on the Archimedes steamship, part of Brunel's research for the design of the SS Great Britain. Claxton and Brunel have been to London to try the Archimedes 'but found her in dock and screw out'. Patterson and Humphries are both in town; Brunel has asked that they see his experiments before reporting to the Directors [of the Great Western Steamship Company], Godwin and Scott.
