Date20 April 1814
Description[The reflector plates have arrived and the workmen are assembling them, however they seem to think there are too many pores but it will be easier to assess this when they come to be finished. Another 12 reflectors are now required to the same specification. He is at present getting burners made of silver, of brass and of other colours of metal to try their effect upon the light of the reflectors, after which he will be better able to judge the best metal to use for this purpose.]
