Includes: Taylor's resignation from Undex Panel [Underwater explosions], Royal Naval Scientific Service, 1964. In his letter accepting Taylor's resignation, R.H. Purcell, Chairman of the Undex Panel, writes: 'I am very sorry indeed to hear you find it necessary to resign from the Undex Panel and Sub-Panel. It is with much hesitation that I acknowledge your official severance from Undex.
You were the fountain head in so many ways of the big advances made in the field of underwater explosions since 1939. Your papers on shock wave theory and on the damage processes led to important advances; also your paper on the vertical motion of the bubble was the foundation of bubble theory. In addition, in the early days of Undex you inspired people like Penney, Temperley, Fox and Bryant (to name only a few) who in turn made their contributions. In every respect your guidance on both Undex Panels has been of immense value.'
There is a similar letter from A.N. Harrison, Director of Naval Construction.

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.

Prandtl was Director, Kaiser Wilhelm Institut für Stromungs-forschung, Göttingen.
The correspondence is mainly scientific, on turbulence, but includes a little personal material.Almost all the letters, by both correspondents, are photocopies, kindly assembled by G.K. Batchelor, who also compiled a chronological list of the correspondence (included in the folder).

Padday, J.F.

This is a sequence of letters, some original and some photocopies, kindly made available by Padday, who has also provided a short account (1976), included in the folder, of the substance of the correspondence. The material complements the correspondence with D.H. Michael on the stability of holes in liquid (D.52). Padday's explanatory note concludes: `There can be no doubt that this correspondence which is complete stimulated each investigator to seek for the singularity which represented the criteria for stability'.

Letter and calculations commenting on Taylor's rotating cylinder experiment and paper.

Mainly arrangements to incorporate Taylor's 1923 experiment on the motion of bodies in rotating fluids in a film entitled 'Fluid Motion in Rotating Systems'; includes a postcard re a film of undulatory movement from Sir James Gray.

Concerns Taylor's visit to Colorado State University, etc.

Includes letter and calculations by Taylor.

Mainly correspondence relating to the research and publication of a joint paper 'On making holes in a sheet of fluid', J. Fluid Mech., 58, 1973. The correspondence runs July 1971-April 1973, and consists of the originals of Michael's letters to Taylor, and photocopies of Taylor's letters to Michael, kindly made available by Michael.

This was one of Taylor's last pieces of research, which he had hoped to present at the 13th International Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Moscow, September 1972. In the event, he was unable to attend and the paper was read for him by Michael.

See Batchelor, Memoir, pp.620-621.

Michael's index to the letters is included in the folder, and indicates where material has not survived.

Other research problems and papers are also discussed in the course of the correspondence.

Three separate groups of material:

• An unbound notebook of miscellaneous items, which includes a dialogue between Plato and Paley, with various drawings, parts of poems and complete poems by William Wordsworth and Percy Bysshe Shelley, and a hand-drawn calendar listing plays printed in England in the 16th and 17th centuries.
• 5 copies of a pamphlet headed “Euripides (A lecture delivered in 1857)” signed W. H. T. at the end in wrappers, including one inscribed to H. Jackson and another to Professor Badham, with Thompson's corrections, and another with a note on the front indicating that it was to be revised and submitted to the Journal of Philology, with 13 copies of the offprints from that journal, vol. XI
• Catalogue of the valuable library of the Rev. W. H. Thompson, D.D., deceased…which will be sold by auction, by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge…on the 23rd of May, 1887 & the three days following. London, [1887]. With annotations throughout by an unidentified person.

Two printed sermons by Thompson: "Old things and new." A sermon, preached in the chapel of Trinity College, on Wednesday, December 15, 1852, being Commemoration Day; and A sermon preached in Ely Cathedral on Sunday, November 14, 1858, being the Sunday next after the funeral of the Very Reverend George Peacock (2 copies).
Five offprints from The Journal of Philology: "On the Word κρουνχυτροληραîος in the Equites of Aristophanes v. 89" and "Platonica" (3 copies) from Vol. V; "Introductory remarks on the Philebus", from Vol. XI; "Babriana" (13 copies) and "On the Nubes of Aristophanes" (12 copies) from Vol. XII.
Accompanied by an MS poem by D. D. H. [Douglas Denon Heath?], written in 1832[?], with note 'returned to D. D. H. 23 June 90' [possibly originally with verses by others in Add.MS.c.158, as described in a folder listing them in William Aldis Wright's hand].

Notes and drafts for an unfinished book on authorship in medieval literature, together with scripts of a few unpublished lectures given by Green, and a small amount of correspondence with other scholars in related fields: Nigel F. Palmer, Malcolm B. Parkes, and David Dumville.

The material is presented alphabetically, with dates and a brief indication of any information of particular interest.

Taylor's undimmed scientific reputation, the high respect he enjoyed, and the eagerness with which younger scientists continued to seek and accept his advice, emerge with remarkable clarity from the letters, most of which date from the later period of his life.

As with the personal correspondence in Section A, only incoming letters usually survive. Professor G.K. Batchelor was, however, able to obtain originals or photocopies of Taylor's letters from some of his correspondents, and thus reconstruct a relatively complete sequence. Examples of this can be found at D.7, D.13, D.18, D.29, D.43-D.46, D.52, D.60, D.64, D.65, D.71, D.87.

Apart from these more substantial exchanges, some ms. drafts or copies of Taylor's replies to individual correspondents also survive. They are noted in the relevant entries. A full list is appended below for ease of reference.

Much of the correspondence 1966-67 relates to a symposium on electrohydrodynamics held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 and includes some correspondence with H. Görtler (see also D.24, D.87); there is also reference to the review-article on electrohydrodynamics by Taylor and Melcher for the first volume of Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 1969, and an undated ms. letter of comment by Taylor on a paper by Melcher.
