Autograph ms., pages numbered 3-41, with a note by G.K. Batchelor, 'Found in G.I's garage in a water-stained folder, July 1976'.
Although the pagination begins p.3, the paper begins `Some months ago Sir J.J. Thomson suggested to me to try and find some explanation of the action of crystal rectifiers, and the experiments described in this paper are the results of this suggestion'. It seems therefore that the missing pages 1 and 2 did not include the substance of the paper.
Also included is correspondence re the paper between G.K. Batchelor and A.B. Pippard, 1976.

The first 15 letters are by A. P. Rollett; the rest are by his son J. M. Rollet, who continued the correspondence after his father's death in July 1968. A few of the letters by J. M. Rollett bear annotations by G. K. Batchelor.

A fourth article by Batchelor was added to the file some time after the papers were catalogued by CSAC:
'Geoffrey Ingram Taylor, 7 March 1886-27 June 1975', by G. K. Batchelor (Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1986).

Includes correspondence re portrait of Taylor by Ruskin Spear, to commemorate his 80th birthday, 1965-66, a telegram of greeting from conference at Kyoto, 1966, group letter of greeting for birthday, 1973. Also a draft letter from Taylor to Bertha Jeffreys, which begins: `Thank you so much for coming in and relieving my boredom for an hour today', and continuing with a scientific speculation on hydraulic resistance. The letter tails off, and was never sent. It is undated, but may be one of the last he wrote and is characteristic of Taylor's unquenchable scientific curiosity and his fight against increasing physical disability.

General correspondence, re scientific research problems, visits, publication of Taylor's papers, etc. Folders consists mainly of ms. letters from Taylor.

Exchanged between Taylor, Batchelor and Van Dyke about a proposed article 'A Dialogue with G.I. Taylor' to be published in the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics.
The project was not completed, but the material was incorporated in 'An unfinished dialogue with G.I. Taylor',
