The correspondence 1950-51 consists of photocopies of Taylor's letters to Rothschild, kindly made available by him. It relates to Taylor's study of the swimming of microscopic organisms and his papers on the subject. Though this work had its immediate origin in an enquiry from Rothschild about the movement of spermatozoa, Taylor says in his letter of 24 April 1951: `I had thought about this problem long before you mentioned it in connection with your work. Bidder used to write to me about it'. George Parker Bidder (1863-1953) was a marine biologist, who lectured at Cambridge and had dining rights at Trinity between the wars.
The letters of 1970 are on the trajectory of golf balls.
