[ RadSafe ] Frederick Soddy Nobel Laureate - Imminent disposal of Soddy's Box

[Keith McKay]

I will email The University and ask them if photographs are available 
not only of the box but its contents, and if they're aren't, could they 
take some and make them available (surely they have!).

Can I thank RADSAFERs once again for their support.  You have done your 
bit!  If it is not asking too much, another email to The University 
thanking them for saving this precious resource and encouraging them to 
display it safely to the general public, would not go amiss.

Thank you once again and have a pleasant weekend.
