LAWRENCE T. E.: (1888-1935) British Lieutenant-Colonel, renowned for his liaison role during the Arab Revolt 1916-18. Known as Lawrence of Arabia. A good A.L.S., T E Shaw, two pages, 4to, Hythe, 15th January 1932, to Flight Lieutenant [W. E. G.] Beauforte-Greenwood. Lawrence writes a technically detailed letter to his correspondent regarding some recent work on motor boats, announcing 'We have now tried two alternative safety “gates” for the gear engagements, & have decided that the best position is on the cam-pulley, for that renders them independent of wiring-up adjustments' and further adding 'Now the next move is to reproduce the successful R.H. engine on the L.H. engine: and then to link up & test', also explaining that he has been in contact with Wing Commander Watkins, who will most likely observe the installation himself and also bring a coxswain and engineer. Lawrence reports that from Monday onwards he and Corporal Jordan will be 'juggling' with the boat, 'getting it right, or getting ourselves right to it' and also states 'It has been difficult, & sometimes disappointing - but now I prefer it to the independent gear & throttle control of the old boats. I think its sweeter & simpler control will much more than make up for the slight extra complexity of fitting, & for the cost…..I find the boat easier to drive, now, than the older boats were'. He provides details of the time lag at both its 'fastest possible operation' and when 'using the gears “gentlemanly-fashion”', observing that 'To accustom oneself to this time-lag is the only lesson peculiar to the Hyland' and also advises Beauforte-Greenwood that he will be taking the next 48 hours off, before concluding 'You will understand of course that this first set is to be scrapped eventually. There is a redesigned telegraph, on paper….Only the principle is settled, now, thank goodness. You will be pleased when you try her next. Will you please tell F/Lt. Norrington that I had a really useful half-hour with his paint expert? I think the new paint worth trying. It closely resembles the Smith racing green, which lasted nine months on my hull'. A few very minor, light creases and some light age wear to a couple of folds, only very slightly affecting a few words of text and not the signature, otherwise VG W. E. G. Beauforte-Greenwood (1878- ) British Flight Lieutenant of the Air Ministry Marine Branch who was responsible for the introduction of high speed motor boats to the Royal Air Force and also recommended Lawrence as the ideal man to conduct the trials and development of the boats. The present letter is written by Lawrence during the period of spring 1931 until the conclusion of his enlistment in February 1935 during which time he was attached to a small team that were dedicated to developing and perfecting high speed boats for use by the Royal Air Force. Lawrence worked with seaplane tenders and armoured target boats, general purpose workboats, refueling dinghies, bomb-loading dinghies and experimental craft. Although biographers have sometimes regarded this period of Lawrence's career as his least interesting, he himself claimed to find the tasks fulfilling (he did after all relish the sensation of speed, either on land or water) and Lawrence demonstrated a grasp of technical issues, proving himself to be a gifted mechanic who encouraged innovation with a genuine and infectious enthusiasm, all of which is reflected in the present letter. The four year time span of Lawrence's involvement with RAF boats was the longest period in his adult life which he spent in the same occupation and he corresponded a lot on the subject, however many of the letters and reports were held in official files which were later destroyed and those that did survive were generally shorter than the example offered here. It has also been argued that there are striking parallels between Lawrence's work from 1932-35 and his more famous role during the Arab Revolt. Lawrence was demonstrating the same talents and achieving significant results - without his input the development of high speed boats may not have been so rapid and his work also had an important impact during World War II when the Air Sea Rescue Service saved more than 13,000 lives. Without Lawrence's contribution many more may have perished. Provenance: A couple of brief pencil annotations and the original retail price (£550) in the hand of the noted English autograph dealer Winifred A. Myers appear in the left margin of the first page.
