Letter: Letter: Shifting sands

Published 22 January 1994

From TOM HARRISON

I read Marek Zukowski’s letter about his grandfather (Letters, 13 November)
with great interest: at some date between 1946-1951 His Majesty’s Stationery
Office published a monograph on the application of electro-osmosis to the
running sand of a site chosen by the Todt Organisation for the construction
of U boat pens at Trondheim.

Unfortunately in my numerous office moves since I returned to civilian
practice, I have seemingly lost the monograph. Maybe other readers will
recall the affair.
