Notes and drafts for an unfinished book on authorship in medieval literature, together with scripts of a few unpublished lectures given by Green, and a small amount of correspondence with other scholars in related fields: Nigel F. Palmer, Malcolm B. Parkes, and David Dumville.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

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.

D Meksyn, 1972 and H Meyer, 1957

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.

P Matisse, 1966 and C K Meadley, 1964-65

On water bells.

(This includes scientific, personal and social correspondence from Mardon and his wife (Babs) to Taylor)
Jasper Mardon, who had known Taylor in Cambridge, worked for various paper and pulp manufacturing firms in Canada and USA and used Taylor as a consultant. The correspondence deals with miscellaneous problems on which Taylor was consulted, including related reports and calculations and patents arising. The letters sent from firms' addresses are all dated, but some of Mardon's ms. letters from his private houses are undated and are assigned an approximate place in the sequence based on their content. Very few of Taylor's letters survive though it is clear that he was a punctual correspondent when engaged on a project.
