EAW/EE
11th. August 1936

Dear Mr.West,

I am in receipt of your letter of the 7th. re the effect of water on wind tone horns.

When we got your previous letter Mr.Harris started a series of tests on various horns with water sprays, and promised me a report on them. Unfortunately, he has just gone for his holiday without giving me the report, and I am afraid he will not be back until Monday week. I would prefer to wait until his return, if possible, before giving you a report on all the tests, but if the matter is urgent and you will let me know, I will try and dig out particulars of just what tests have been carried out.

Yours sincerely,
