Scope and Contents

Finlay proposes a collaboration with a Kelso jewelry maker, Norman Cherry, for a tea-mine. Finlay imagines a small metal object which should resemble a round metal object with protruding horns. this will unscrew into 2 parts so that tea can be put int it. It will then be posible to dangle it at th end of a chain to make tea. He encloses a diagram of a mine frm a naval book on mines to illustrate his point (diagram not in Archive). Since Cherry did not reply, this project was probably unrealized. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
