Hello Frank,
Thank you.
I have looked on the NA website and must admit I find it a little confusing :blink:
I managed to find WO126/67-73 and then realised these are not digitised, so they need to be ordered.
Can I request a search for Dalwoods papers only or is it the full section?

Paul :)

I would have a careful look in WO126/67-73, Clarence Dalwood's original paper may well have survived.

Paul,

A local researcher would be able to search the first of the JMR boxes for you. Paul Baillie would be good or anyone that uses the NA regularly.

Fingers crossed!

Hello Paul,
It is rather enjoyable to just do it yourself, but, the most cost effective way for you would be, as David points out, to comission a researcher.
