Transcription

One of Triewald’s countryman wants to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Triewald would also like to be admitted into the Royal Society. He will be very flattered if such an honour is bestowed on him. Mårten Triewald (1691-1747) was a Swedish merchant, engineer, physicist, and military architect. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1731 and served as the King of Sweden’s Director of Mechanics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mårten_Triewald).
