Manuscript D.S., Norman Feather, one page, 4to, n.p., 28th May 1947. Feather responds to a researcher's questionnaire entitled World Inquiry, with their manuscript questions at the head of the page, '1. Were your scientific “debut” easy or difficult? 2. Did means of living…..enable you to make yourself known in science? Or did you live solely through your work of laboratory? 3. What work (or what discovery) made yourself more famous? Which do you consider as your masterpiece?'. Feather provides his answers beneath, in full, '1. Easy - that is one stage of advance followed another without interruption or any great difficulty. 2. I was enabled to study through the award of scholarships, and to carry out my early researches whilst holding a research fellowship at Cambridge. Since then I have always held a university teaching post. 3. (a) Discovery of disintegrations produced by neutrons (1932) (b) Proof that the time of fission is less than 10-13 second (1939)', adding his signature and date below. VG
