réf. 14455Chatham. 12 March 1839. A substantial letter 3pp. foolscap 8vo. 100 lines of text. Bifolium. In very good condition on aged paper with one closed along crease line neatly repaired with archival tape. Addressed on reverse of second leaf with Chatham postmark frank and black wax seal to 'Viscount Ingestrie M:P. 2 Wilton Crescent Belgrave Square London'. An interesting document in which a distinguished Victorian naval architect makes detailed criticisms of an innovation in his field. HMS Gorgon was designed by Sir William Symonds and launched in 1837. Her direct-acting engines in which the engine's cylinders are placed under the crankshaft built by Seaward and Company were the first to be fitted in any vessel. She was scrapped in 1864. Read begins his letter: 'My Lord Nothing could exceed my astonishment at the reply or rather <> which Sir C. Adam gave in citing the Gorgon as a specimen of the success of the personal conductor of our Naval Construction. In a lithographic account privately circulated but which the Hampshire Telegraph published; it was stated for what purposes this bad & wretched failure was designed. - She was to be able to carry 10 long 32 Pr. between decks - 4 32 Prs. and 2 10 inch Bomb Cannon on the weather deck - She was to take or be able to take a regiment on board with all its equipage for a colonial voyage across the Atlantic.' He proceeds to describe the 'falling off' from these specifications commenting that 'her constructor had so little knowledge of what he was about that he was deficient in displacement at least 400 tons corresponding to a too great immersion of 3 feet about . When she left Plymouth for her first trip to St. Sebastian she drew 17 ft 3 in aft instead of her intended draft 15.6 and the Ports abaft the Paddle Boxes were only from 3 ft 3 in to 3 ft 6 in above the water!! Of course the Ports were still caulked in.' At the end of this criticism he describes the Gorgon as 'a failure'. He proceeds to 'shew how experiments are got up' concluding 'is this the way that an experiment involving a cost of 40000£ should be conducted - The engines alone of the Gorgon cost 20000£.' He continues 'Would Sir C. Adam produce the lithographic circulars of which the Gorgon was intended for and would he venture to place in contrast with it the actual performance of the ship' He gives more specifications before stating: 'The Constructor of the Gorgon ought to be called upon to explain if he can the early discrepancy between his intentions & performances. He ends by apologising for 'this rough document'. Chatham. 12 March 1839. unknown

réf. 14915Eleven of the items on his letterhead Royal College of Art South Kensington London SW7. The other two items from 21 Willow Road Hampstead NW. One from 1915 four from 1916 and eight from 1917. The thirteen items are in good condition on lightly-aged paper. All but one bear the purple oval stamp of the Royal Society of Arts and most are docketted. Totalling 10pp. 4to; 3pp. 12mo. The earlier letters are addressed to Wood and the later ones to Menzies. The first letter 14 August 1915 in which Pite proposes becoming a member of the Society is the only one not to concern the course of lectures. On 7 June 1916 he asks if 'the subject of Town Planning which owing to the operation of the Act of 1909 has increasing importance could be included in the Society of Arts series of Cantor Lectures' adding that Wood is 'probably aware of the increasing literature of the subject and that the Royal Institute of British Architects as issued directions to providers & advice to architects on town planning procedure. The subject presents many aspects to the Student and in practice divides itself between the Surveyor <> and architect and naturally has many aspects of public interest and urgency.' He proposes to submit a syllabus 'on the Architecture of Town Planning past & present' stating that he has been 'for many years a member of the Town Planning Committee of the R.I.B.A. & has lectured on the subject at the L.C.C. School of Building'. On 12 June 1916 he writes that he is enclosing 'a syllabus of a course of 5 lectures on Town-Planning' the 'historical aspect' of the subject being 'a large & important one' and ' this comparative study of achieved results' being 'important side by side with present day problems'. On 25 September 1916 he accepts Wood's 'proposals . to deliver a course of four lectures on "Town Planning" to be given weekly from January 29 next'. Among topics dealt with in the rest of the correspondence are the submission of manuscripts and authorship rights. Eleven of the items on his letterhead, Royal College of Art, South Kensington, London, SW7. The other two items from 21 Willow R unknown
