CLAUDE (Georges). Born in Paris. 1870-1960. French physicist and chemist, he was also an industrial inventor remarkable for the scope and diversity of his work. L.A.S. "G. Claude" to a journalist. Paris, September 3, 1909. 1 1/2 pages in-8 on writing paper. Georges Claude thanks him ...for the proofs received, which implies approval of my article... He only fears that he has had the article composed a little early, ...and that you will be cluttering up your marble for a long time, since it has been agreed that the article will not appear until after my communication to the Ingrs (ingénieurs) Civils... i.e. in November....I haven't forgotten your desire to try a liq(uid) ox(ygen) breathing apparatus, but the few that have been built are all being experimented on in the mines at the moment, and I'll be happy to bring you one as soon as it returns...
