a“ The Optical Magic Lantern Journal and Photographio Enlarger, v. AN EXPLANATION 7 PATENT TRIPLE RACK FRONTS _ Attention having been called to a passage in one of Mr. Lewis Wright’s works, which is calculated to give an altogether wrong idea as to the merits of the above Fronts, and to affect the sale, the solicitors of the Patentee. have been in correspondence with Mr. Wright with reference to the matter, and that gentleman has apologised for having inserted the passage complained of, and undertaken to cancel it in jfuture editions of the book. : COPY OF LETTER FROM MR. LEWIS WRIGHT. London, Marchi 26th, 1891 GENTLEMEN, The statement contained in... . the book .... of which I am the author, referring to the Triple-rack Telescopic Fronts for optical lanterns, was written by me entirely from recollection of an inspection of such a Front at an Exhibition, and not from any experience I had of the actual working of the invention on lanterns. wo» It having been now brought to my notice that the TripLe Rack Front is a Patent Proprietary Article, of which fact I was not aware, and that some Exhibitors, after repeated use of this particular adjustment, speak in the highest terms of it, I regret having inserted the passage above referred to, and undertake that in all future editions of the book it shall be cancelled. You are at liberty to publish this letter in such manner as you may consider desirable. I am, yours fraternally, Lewis WRIGHT.
