Referring to LR{Mr Ellor}1/A21232, I think this subject is too far away for us to spend time upon it at the moment, as our hands are full with more immediate and promising practical work. I suggest we wait until the pioneers have got some results comparable with more orthodox types. We are commercial rather than research people. R | ||
