GENERAL INTRODUCTION
PROVENANCE AND HISTORY OF THE COLLECTION
The history of the collection is long, complex and in many respects uncertain.
The following dates and stages may be distinguished.
In 1945 Cherwell took to Oxford his wartime papers, which are referred to in
correspondence of that year with T. Wilson (see F.85).
The files were given some
listing on receipt at the Clarendon Laboratory by two members of Cherwell's staff
(J.R. Parkinson and N.B. Giles), but no incontrovertible dated evidence remains of
that ordering.
Cherwell frequently consulted the material at the request of otherhistorians,
in particular Churchill, to verify specific matters of the history of the war (see, inter
alia, D.117, F.87, G.348, G.437-440, G.550, J.97, K.69, K.241) but always
refused to write his own account of his career or work.
In 1948 typescript copies were made from the originals of some of Cherwell's
minutes to Churchill for 1939 - 42; this was arranged with T. Wilson and is also re-
ferred to in his correspondence with Cherwell in item F.85.
The copies themselves
appear at F.217 - F.228.
In 1957 Cherwell died, a bachelor, in his rooms at Christ Church, Oxford.
In his will he left his papers to his elder brother, Brigadier Charles Lindemann, with
the proviso that, in the event of his brother's predeceasing him, he would like Sir
At the time of Cherwell's death, Brigadier
Donald MacDougall to have the papers.
Lindemann was in the U.S. and in poor health, and in 1961 the papers were deposited
by Sir Donald MacDougall in the Library of Nuffield College, Oxford, of which he

Union was his residuary legatee; the Union has retained the copyright of Cherwell's
personal papers, but has left the papers with Nuffield College on indefinite loan.
Before transfer from Christ Church to Lord Birkenhead the papers were examined
by P.J. Searby who had been Private Secretary to Lord Cherwell as Paymaster General

General introduction
1952 - 53 and had exercised oversight of the papers subsequently issued to Lord
Cherwell as Part-time Member of the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority from 1954 until
his death in 1957.
While no formal review of the papers was undertaken at this
time, some material of particular sensitivity was removed (see H.174) to official
Archives and partial Minute Sheets were made for a small number of the correspon-
dence files.
A further examination also covering some additional papers was carried
out in about 1960 in conjunction with Lord Birkenhead's Research Assistant, Miss
Otto; to this latter period would appear to belong the numerical sequenceswritten
in very large blue pencil characters on some of the manuscripts.
In 1961 Birkenhead published the official life of Cherwell, for which he had had
access to the papers, referring to them in the footnotes to his book as 'Cherwell
Archives'.
He and his research assistants made various notes on aspects of Cherwell's
life and work (see A.30, A.128, F.22) and brief biographical outlines of some of his
correspondents, several of which remain in the relevant folders.
In 1965 - 66 further major sorting and review took place, by J.M. Pye,
Official Archivist, United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, advised by P.J. Searby,
and an outline list was drawn up.
The main principle adopted was a division into
‘Official’ and 'Personal', primarily for considerations of security for government papers
included in Cherwell's material.
Thus the ‘Official’ papers (OFF. in the outline list)
were deemedto be those relating to Cherwell's service in the Churchill wartime and
postwar administrations, and the ‘Personal’ files (PERS. in the outline list) would be
concerned with Cherwell's scientific, academic and social life.
This distinction,
implemented on broad lines and on an essentially chronological basis, was never
absolute.
OFF. and PERS. files overlapped in subject-matter, correspondent, origin
or simply the taking of multiple carbon copies.
PERS. files might contain political
or official material, while OFF. files could include minor social or-personal items
which happened to bear a wartime date.
A certain degree of 'weeding' also took place-in the course of this review; see
A.17, E.22, F.2 for notes of material destroyed.
Since the 1965 - 66 review, the papers (chiefly those in the OFF. sections)
have been consulted by historians of science, biographers of Churchill, students of the

Second World War, and others.
Several of these appear to haveleft notes or markings
on the manuscripts, and may havefurther disturbed their order.
In addition, the
material has been reviewed periodically by the Cabinet Office in order to re- or
de-classify govemment papers as they became available to readers under the 30-year
rule or other appropriate regulation.
The latest of these reviews was in 1980, and it
has largely eliminated the distinction between OFF. and PERS. files imposed in 1965.
This last consideration, coupled with the facts that Cherwell's original ordering
of his papers could no longer be traced, and that the existing files were of unmanage-
able bulkand disparate content, prompted the decision to undertake a fundamental
re-sorting of the whole collection.
The papers are now presented as shown in the
List of Contents.
In order to help researchers who had already consulted the papers and made
references on the basis of the 1965 - 66listing, and at the request of Nuffield College,
a Conspectusof file-numbers has been compiled for all papers assigned to the OFF.

Many of the documents bear an array of annotations, identifications, suggestions

arrangement.
The only relevant indications now on the papers are the OFF. numbers,
in pencil at the head of the sheet where required.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION
Several biographical accounts of Cherwell have already been published and are
mentioned here in chronological order. The Memoir by G.P. Thomson (Biographical
Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 4, 1958) concentrates primarily on Cherwell's

General introduction
scientific career in peace and war, though as one of Cherwell's oldest personal friends
(indeed, almost the only remaining early colleague who had maintained continuous
friendly relations with him) he was also able to include some biographical material.
R.F. Harrod's The Prof (Macmillan 1959), is subtitled 'A Personal memoir of
Lord Cherwell' and described by the author as 'drawing on my own recollections only’.
As a Student of Christ Church, 1924 - 67, Harrod had many contacts with Cherwell,
and his book contributes many anecdotes of Cherwell's personality, and his part in
social and political events from the Thirties onwards.
Harrod was especially closely
associated with Cherwell during the latter's Conservative political campaigns of
1935 - 36, and with the Prime Minister's Statistical Branch from 1 January 1940 until
early 1942,
Birkenhead's The Prof in two worlds (Collins 1961), is the official life, drawing
on manuscript sources, recollections by family, colleagues, politicians and others.

time in compiling this catalogue.

there are introductory notes to manyof the Sections, sub-sections and individual
entries of the catalogue which aim to furnish explanatory information.
Sections A and K of the collection deal mainly with Cherwell's personal and
social life. Of interest are his pilot's logbooks (A.11, A.12) documenting his tuition
as a pilot at Netheravon in 1916.

A.F. Lindemann, and his elder brother, C.L. Lindemann, and material relating to
some of his own idiosyncrasies
of diet and health, lordly modesof travel, and the
considerable wealth which underpinned his independence of mind.
There is also
evidence of his generosity to his personal servants, to staff and colleagues (andtheir
families) at the Clarendon Laboratory, and the many discreet, almost surreptitious,
benefactions he dispensed.
Section K confirmsthis by the numerousletters of thanks
for Christmas, birthday, 'non-birthday' or wedding presents received not on ly from
Cherwell's own friends but from their young families.
It is greatly to be regretted
that very few of Cherwell's own letters survive in this Section, presumably because
they were handwritten and no carbon copies were kept.
Section B is primarily concerned with Cherwell at Oxford, as Head of the
Clarendon Laboratory, Fellow of Wadham, resident at Christ Church and involved in
various aspects and controversies of the University.
It documents his struggles to
obtain equipment, posts, funding and building for the laboratory, his initiative in
identifying and encouraging Jewish scientists wishing or obliged to leave Germany
when the Nazis came to power, and his consequent negotiations with the university,
industrialists and politicians to provide research funds, space and equipment.
The
resulting excellence of the Clarendon Laboratory (notably in low temperature research)
is well known.
Cherwell also helped to make it possible for the young R.V. Jones to
carry out there his early infrared research (see the correspondence in D.123 - D.125).
Cherwell's skill as a polemicist is shown in different fields and with different
degrees of credit, in his rearguard action over premises in Keble Road, Oxford,
originally leased for a research project,and in his contributions to the public contro-
versy over the draconian proposal to solve Oxford's traffic problems by a road through
Christ Church Meadow.
Section J supplies further illustration of Cherwell's enjoyment
of in-fighting in prewar Oxford Conservative politics.
As a counterbalance to this almost too well-known side of his character, Section B
contains (B.126) a few drafts for speeches given in his later more mellow years at social
gatherings at Christ Church.

listeners, his wit - often recalled by friends but not otherwise recorded - is well dis-
played, steering a delicate course between raillery and mockery, choosing appropriate
anecdotes and references and achieving with grace the difficult balance required by
such intimate, semi-domestic occasions.
Sections C and D, together with parts of Section E, relate to Cherwell as a
scientist.
They show him in several lights.
His début in research could hardly have
been more auspicious, when he was chosen by Nernst in 1908 for the team in Berlin
working on specific heat and low temperatures. He published collaborative papers
with Nernst and becamea lifelong friend of him and his family.
To this time also
belongs his affectionate, and similarly lifelong, friendship with Einstein; many of

declared support for the Conservative party is also likely to have contributed to his
isolation from a considerable proportion of the scientific community during the Thirties.
There remain, however, interesting exchanges with W.F. Aston, G.I. Taylor, W.H. Nernst,
J.L. Tuck and others; the material in D.53 - D.69, while concerned mainly with
visits and lectures by Einstein, testifies to the mutual respect and affection between
him and Cherwell.

General introduction
Section E includes some additional scientific writings, of a more general and
popular kind than those in Section C, but more importantly shows Cherwell as an
embattled defender of the importance to the life of the community of science, scientific
research, and the scientific habit of mind.
He campaigned endlessly for more money
and more respectfor the scientist - in early years somewhat negatively by decrying
what seemed the opposed values of a 'classical' education, and in later life more
positively by pressing for the expansion of technological education through new
universities or institutions.
His last piece of work (E. 100) was devotedto this subject.
See also G.526 - G.533, H.236 - H.253 for Cherwell's wartime activities in this
field.
It is, however, for his friendship with Churchill and its political consequences
that Cherwell is most widely known. Begun in 1921, the friendship continued with
no diminution of regard on either side, and despite staggering disparities of tempera-
ment and habit, until Cherwell's death.
The episode of the aged Churchill's
insistence on attending the funeral service and ceremony in 1957 has been referred to
in the published biographies of Cherwell.
This friendship permeated much of Cherwell's life, and its documentation is in
consequencediffused through many Sections of the collection.
The correspondence
in Section K shows the personal aspect of the relationship, Churchill's use of Cherwell
as a source of information and advice, and Cherwell's acceptance by the whole
Churchill clan as a warm family friend.
The political relations between the two
begin and end in Section J, firstly in the 1920s and 1930s, and later from 1945 to
1953 when Cherwell was an adviser to Churchill's Consultative Committee in opposition,
or in office as Paymaster-General in his administrations. Between these comes the
1939 - 45 Second World War which is very fully documented in Sections F, Gand H.
These three Sections are best considered as a unit. Apart from some preliminary
material (F.1 - F.39) concerned with increasing anxiety during the interwar years
about the problem of air defence in war, and the various solutions proposed (including
papers on the 'Tizard Committee’), all three relate to the work of the Statistical
Branch, later known as the Statistical Section.
This was formed at Churchill's request
to assemble and assimilate statistics and data and to present them to him in accessible,

General introduction
rapidly intelligible form, originally in his capacity as First Lord of the Admiralty and
then as Prime Minister.
A minute detailing the functions of the organisation is quoted
in the Introduction to Section F and included at F.41.
Broadly speaking, Section F contains the material presented by the Statistical
Section to Churchill in its final form - asa graph, chart or diagram, and/or a personal
minute from Cherwell to Churchill, sometimes accompanied by a draft minute or
recommendation to be sent by Churchill to the appropriate minister.
These documents
provide an interesting picture of the working relationship between Cherwell and
Churchill throughout the period 1939 - 45.
The charts or minutes were the distillation of the wide-ranging activity of the
Statistical Section and rested on background research through committee or departmental
papers, official correspondence, information from scientific colleagues, etc. This
background material, which provides fuller information than the summary minutes,
occupies Sections G (scientific and military topics) and H (economic topics).
The
separate Introductions to all three Sections, and to many oftheir sub-sections, explain
in more detail the nature and interest of the material, which enables the advice
tendered by Cherwell and the Statistical Section - frequently the target of adverse
criticism both at the time and subsequently - to be substantiated or placed in pers-

THE CLARENDON LABORATORY
Cherwell (then F.A. Lindemann) was elected Professor of Experimental
Philosophy in April 1919 (A.20 - A.23).
The condition of the Clarendon Laboratory,
and the poor reputation of the study of physics at Oxford when he arrived, have been
commented upon in published biographies and obituaries.
He quickly began to
organise the removal of obsolete apparatus and the acquisition of more up-to-date
equipmentpartly from surplus military stores, partly from accumulated university
funds, and partly from industrial manufacturers among his personal friends.
Although
the reputation of the laboratory grew and improved, receiving new impetus from the
German refugee scientists whom Cherwell encouraged to settle there from 1933 onwards,
funding continued to be a problem occupying much of Cherwell's time, diplomatic
skill and social activity (see B.14 - B.25).
During the Second World War, the Laboratory, now housedin its new building
(B.13, B.26 - B.32) was run on Cherwell's behalf largely by T.C. Keeley, though
Cherwell continued to devote as much of his own time to its working as was then
practicable, keeping a specially keen eye on plans for postwar science and funding
(B.42 - B.47).
The end of Cherwell's period of service at the Clarendon Laboratory
was greatly saddened by the death of his successor, Sir Francis Simon.
See B.37 - B.40 for reports on research conducted under contract at the
Laboratory during the Second World War.
See correspondence with C.H. Collie, T.C. Keeley, E. Bolton King,
K. Mendelssohn, F.E. Simon for material re administration and research at the

Correspondence and papers arising from the speech
of the retiring Senior Proctor in March 1956, in
which he reported losses of library books and claimed
that scientists (often Senior members) were more liable
than others to steal books.
Cherwell was indignant
and attempted to obtain an official disclaimer, and,
whenthe matter was revived in 1957, sent a letter
jointly with Hinshelwood and Florey to The Oxford
Magazine.

WADHAM COLLEGE, 1919-56.
52
Cherwell's Chair at Oxford, to which he was appointed in 1919, was attached
to Wadham College; accordingly, he took up residence there after various difficulties
over improvementto the set of rooms assigned to him, and remained a Fellow and
Memberof the Governing Body until 1956, when he resigned his chair and was elected
an honorary member.
In 1921, however, he was offered a Studentship (= Fellowship) and more spacious
rooms at Christ Church where he moved the following year and which he came to regard
as his only home; see A.79 for special arrangements made to allow him to remain in
Christ Church after his retirement.
Although he became, in time, one of the oldest
and most respected members of Christ Church, it should be noted that he was never a
memberof the Governing Body of the House; see B.124-B.132 for correspondence on
Christ Church affairs.
The material below consists of correspondence with successive Wardens of Wadham,
and with Fellows or prospective Fellows about the general affairs of the college.
It is clear that Cherwell gave financial help to the college in various ways from time
to time.

Cherwell took up residence in Christ Church in 1922,
He was not a member
of the Governing Body of the House, which involved a certain dispute over the matter
of precedence, in 1927 (B.124), but sat on its special committees from time to time.
His social contact with the Duke of Westminster was responsible for the establishment
of a Duke of Westminster Research Studentship (B.125, B.126) and his friendship with
Einstein helped in encouraging the latter's visits to Oxford in 1931, 1932 and 1933
when he stayed in Christ Church and was elected a Research Student (B.128,
see also
D.56, D.61).
The correspondence is with successive Deans, Censors, Treasurers and Students
of the House, and also with personal friends requesting assistance with admission of
relatives to the House and their progress there.
See also A.116, A.117 for correspondence with Christ Church re accommodation
for Cherwell's staff.

Correspondence and papers re Duke of Westminster Research
Studentship in physics, 1924-54.
The first holder of the Studentship was E. Bolton King (q.v.);
at the conclusion of his tenure in 1930 there was some
disagreement about whether the Studentship should continue
to carry membership of the Governing Body, but it was
eventually decided that it should do so.
As time went by,
various modifications had to be made fo the provisions con-
sequent upon the death of the Duke, the contributions of the
University and the House, etc.

CORRESPONDENCE AND PAPERS ON THE OXFORD ROADS
PROBLEM, 1953-57
This was a matter of considerable debate at local and national level, involving
the Ministries of Transport and Housing and Local Government, as well as Oxford City
Council and its Committees, the Oxford Preservation Trust, Oxford University and its
colleges.
The controversy continued in the press through articles, features and
especially the correspondence columns, and there were also broadcast talks and comment.
The problem was the congestion of traffic in the central areas of Oxford.
A
partial solution, with which the earlier material is mainly concerned, involved the
construction of outer by-passes and the development of better independent shopping
and entertainment facilities outside the centre, particularly at Cowley. Bitter controversy
arose over the necessity, and the siting, of 'inner relief roads'; various plans, some
very drastic, were proposed, and in September 1956 Duncan Sandys (now Lord Duncan-
Sandys), then Minister of Housing and Local Government, wrote to Oxford City Council
requesting submission of a proposal for a road through Christ Church Meadow, and an
access road by an extension of Rose Lane.
The later material deals with the mobilisation
of opposition to this plan.
The correspondence is with local officials, amenity societies, University and
college authorities, Ministers, House of Lords colleagues, members of the general
public.
In 1953 the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation was A. Lennox-Boyd (now
Lord Boyd of Merton) and the Minister of Housing and Local Government was Mr. (now
Sir) Harold Macmillan.
Several memos. and letters sent to or on behalf of Cherwell
bear the signature of P.J. Searby, his London secretary at this time.
The material is presented chronologically, with a brief indication of content.

Celt-C.3)
Royal Aircraft Factory, Farnborough
Cherwell worked on various projects connected with range and direction finding,
detection of submarines and aircraft, and aircraft spin, for which he is particularly
well known (see A.10-A.17, E.19, E.20 for other material on his service at
Farnborough).
The material consists of ms. drafts or official reports and specifications, some-
times accompanied by correspondence.
Some ideas survive only through references
in correspondence, since many early R.A.F./R.A.E. records were destroyed;
occasionally Cherwell's correspondents were so discreet in their letters that it is not
always possible to determine what project is in question.
Continuing correspondence on various devices and inventions begun at Farn-
borough has been retained here although Cherwell had moved to Oxford in 1919.

SECTION D
SCIENTIFIC CORRESPONDENCE D.1 - D.266
The correspondenceis presented in alphabetical order, with terminal dates and a
brief note of any material of particular scientific or biographical interest.
Most of
the letters are exchanged with individuals, but some societies, committees and organisa-
tions are included; these are indexed under their own name (e.g. Academic Assistance
Council, Imperial Chemical Industries) and also under the names of individual corres-
pondents included therein.
A note is made of cases where incoming letters have
been lost and only Cherwell's carbons survive.
While some of the correspondenceis brief and formal, there are some substantial
exchanges which complement aspects of Cherwell's career at many stages; such are the
exchangeswith early scientific colleagues (e.g. Nernst, Aston, Einstein), and collabo-
rators at the Clarendon Laboratory (e.g. Keeley, King, Griffith, Simon, Tuck), and
Cherwell's negotiations with industrial firms for financial support (see especially the
correspondence with I.C.1.)
Cherwell's work in assisting Jewish scientists of German extraction to leave Nazi
Germany and continue their researchreer elsewhere is well known, more particu-
larly in relation to the 1.C.1. Fellowships he was able to obtain for a limited number
of such cases. He was, however, involved with many others.

Cherwell was a member of the firm's Research Council until
In
1939, when his official position obliged him to resign.
addition to giving his advice and collaboration on various research
projects with the firm's laboratories, Cherwell was a personal
friend of successive Chairmen and officials, and in particular of
Sir Harry (later Lord) McGowan and members of the Mond and
Melchett families.
These personal contacts enabled him in 1933
to obtain the agreement of McGowan to his journey to Germany to
interview Jewish scientists wishing to leave the country, and the
later financing by I. C.1. of research posts for such refugee
scientists, at Oxford and elsewhere.
1.C.1. continued its contribution to research at Oxford and else-
where through the provision of 1.C.1. Fellowships (D.111, D.112).

The material is of heterogeneous nature, including drafts or notes for Cherwell's
own speeches, lectures or articles, his many letters to the national and local news-
papers, his contributions to debates in the House of Lords, and his memoranda and
minutes to ministers or governmentofficials.
Each sub-section is presented in
chronological order so far as this is ascertainable; correspondencerelating to a
particular item has been left in place.
lt should be noted that most of the drafts or fair typescripts for Cherwell's
speeches in the House of Lords, 1941 - 57, were destroyed in April 1965 during a
previous sorting of his papers. A note made at that time explaining the decision
appears at E.22.
See Sections F, G, Hand J for many other official memoranda and minutes prepared
by Cherwell.
The miscellaneous correspondencein this Section (E.104 - E.137) includes
letters from editors of journals and newspapers, radio producers, publishers, con-
ference organisers, etc. inviting Cherwell to speak, write or attend meetings. He
received several requests to write his memoirs, or his recollections of Churchill, all
of which he refused.
Several of the later invitations are from schools and educational establishments,
and reflect Cherwell's advocacy of an expansion in technological and scientific

Second World War
INTRODUCTION
Section F documents Cherwell's growing preoccupation with the inevitability of
war and the problem of air defence, and presents a general picture of his service to
Churchill during the Second World War.
Papers from the same period on more specific
topics are in Sections G (military and scientific) and H (economic).
In October 1939 Cherwell was asked by Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty,
to assemble a group of economists who would collect and co-ordinate Admiralty and
other statistics.
The group became knownas the First Lord's Statistical Branch ('S'
Branch) and the first members (in order of recruitment) were G.D.A. (later Sir Donald)
MacDougall, H. Makower, G.L.S. Shackle, H.W. Robinson and D.G. Champernowne.
R.F. (later Sir Roy) Harrod joined the group on 1 January 1940; other members included
D.M.B. Butt, E.J.S. Clarke, W.A.B. Hopkin, C.M. Kennedy, C.J. Martin, W.R.
Merton, J.R. Parkinson, F.R.P. Vinter and T. Wilson.
The functions of 'S Branch' are described in F.41 as follows:
‘Il.
2.
3.
4.
To analyse statistics relating to the Navy and cognate matters
and present the results in diagrammatic form both for the information
of the First Lord and for his use in discussion.
To compile and keep up to date the album of charts and diagrams
which the First Lord has circulated to the cabinet ...
To answer at short notice questions by the First Lord on any matter
involving statistics with which he may have to deal as a member of
the War Cabinet and other Committees.
To read all cabinet papers on economic matters and draw the
attention of the First Lord to points which he might wish to
take up.'
When Churchill became Prime Minister in May 1940 he retained 'S Branch!
as an independent departmentoutside the normal machinery of government, and it
became knownas the Prime Minister's Statistical Section, or sometimes, after
Cherwell's appointment as Paymaster General in December 1942, as the Office of
the Paymaster General.
It remained in existence until the change of government
in 1945.

Preparations and Statistical Section, general papers.
Second World War
Although the scope of the work and the number of staff grew in accordance with
the increased importance of the Statistical Section, its essential function remained the
collection and distillation of information.
Harrod (The Prof, p.221) relates that
Churchill wished Cherwell to range over the whole field of the war effort, excluding
only military operations and personal appointments and promotions.
Much of
Cherwell's interest was concentrated on military and scientific problems, and there
isa large corpus of material relating to the development, production and use of various
weapons and armaments.
But he also involved himself in a wide range of economic
topics including the efficient use of shipping tonnage, the production of food and raw
materials, manpower, negotiations with U.S.A. for military and economic aid and,
in the latter stages of the war, in the various problems relating to post-war reconstruction.
Statistics were assembled on all these topics from cabinet papers, departmental
minutes and reports, and correspondence with colleagues in government departments
and scientific and military establishments.
(This background material is now mainly
contained in Sections Gand H.)
In addition, Cherwell and his staff quantified and
criticised the available data and assumptions on a wide range of major issues.
Some
of the famous battles resulting from his questioning of generally accepted views on, for
example, the size of the German Air Force, the accuracy of British bombing and the
existence and scope of the German V-weapons have been widely discussed in the pub-
lished literature, and most of them are well documented in Section G (see Introduction
to Section G).
It is difficult to estimate the effect of Cherwell's quantitative approach
to problems that would previously have been considered exclusively the province of the
military, but it is interesting to observe that scientists in other fields were using a
similar approach, with results such as the recognition of the importance of Operational
Research to considerations of military strategy.
The material assembled by the staff of the Statistical Section was conveyed to
Churchill in the form of a personal minute from Cherwell, often with a recommendation
or a draft minute for Churchill to sign and send to the Minister concerned.
Examples
of these are to be found passim in Sections G and H, but F.88-F.216 contains a chrono-
logical sequence of Cherwell's minutes which appears to have been assembled after the

are duplicated elsewhere, but the sequence as a whole presents an interesting general
picture of the working relationship between Churchill and Cherwell during this period.
Many of these minutes
In addition to the minutes, statistics were often presented to Churchill in the
form of coloured graphs or charts.
Many examples of these have survived, and some
appear passim in Sections G and H, but the majority are at F.258-F. 394.

The majority of the correspondence in this section was previously kept with
Cherwell's 'Personal' papers (see General Introduction) under the general heading
of 'Air Defence’.
It has been combined with a number of drafts, reports and
committee papers from amongst Cherwell's wartime papers, some of which were
not previously available to researchers, in order to form a more complete picture
of Cherwell's preoccupations and activities during this period.

MINUTES EXCHANGED BETWEEN CHERWELL AND CHURCHILL,
1939-45
The minutes are presented in 4 separate sequences:
F.88 -F.216
Minutes from Cherwell to Churchill, 1939-45
These were originally kept in a numbered sequence
in very bulky folders, accompanied by a list of contents,
and in some cases a subject index.
Each folder has been
split up into several more manageable units; the indexes
and lists of contents have been removed and put together
in a single sequence at the beginning of the section
(F.88-F.94).
F.217-F. 228
Minutes from Cherwell] to Churchill, 1939-42
These are typescript copies of the original minutes
in F.95-F.168 only, which were made for the benefit
of Churchill and other historians (see General Introduction).
F.229-F.240
Another set of minutes from Cherwell to Churchill, 1939-45
The majority of these were originally contained in a
single bulky folder, unsorted.
They are now presented
in chronological order, but have been kept as a separate
sequence in order to avoid disturbing the indexes, etc.
to the main sequence.
Some, but not all, of them are
duplicated in the main set; a few may be drafts that were
not eventually sent to Churchill.

nevertheless, all the wartime papers are closely interrelated, and material in
this Section may sometimes amplify or complement (or even duplicate) material
elsewhere in the collection.

Minutes from Cherwell to Churchill, 1939-42
These are not carbons, but typescript copies of the originals,
made in 1948 (see correspondence with T. Wilson, F.85).
Each folder is prefaced by a list of contents corresponding
to those at F.88-F.94.
The set is not complete as it lacks minutes for January-April
and October-December 1940. Copies of minutes for April to
June 1942 have been moved by the present compiler to F.156

Most of these minutes were originally in a bulky, unsorted
folder with no index or list of contents.
Some, but notall,
of them are duplicated in the main set (F.95-F.216); a few
may be drafts that were not eventually sent to Churchill.
As with the main set, they cover a wide variety of subjects,
and it has not been possible to provide cross-references to other

F.297-F.367

Miscellaneous
The majority of these charts were prepared for Churchill, or for presentation
to various ministers and government departments at Churchill's request. A number
were prepared for President Roosevelt, and correspondence in F.65 refers to arrange-
ments for Cherwell to show an album of charts to the King.
They were generally
either bound in cloth covers (see e.g. F.297-F.325) or presented in loose leaf binders.
Some of the latter have survived intact (e.g. F.365, F.386) but many of their contents
were dispersed or superseded and remained in loose piles in no particular order.
The loose charts have been sorted into subject groups for ease of reference and
are included with the original albums under the headings listed above.
Some of the
material is no longer identifiable, particularly in the case of unfinished drafts or
copies, such as F,292-F.296.
Many of the charts overlap in subject matter with other papers in Sections G and H
but it has not been possible to provide specific cross-references.
Charts which were
originally included with drafts and correspondence in these Sections have beenleft in
position.

INTRODUCTION
The papers in Sections G and H document the daily activities of the Prime
Minister's Statistical Section during the Second World War.
The material is pre-
sented in two Sections for ease of reference but the distinction between Sections G
(military and scientific papers) and H (economic papers) is a rather artificial one,
and does not reflect the original ordering of the papers which could no longer be
reconstructed.
Similarly, the presentation of the material in Sections G and H
is the work of the present compilers although in places it draws on the previous
arrangement of the papers made in 1965 (see General Introduction).
The origins and function of the Statistical Section have already been out-
lined in the Introduction to Section F.
The material in Section G provides
some of the background to Cherwell's minutes to Churchill in the form ofstatistics,
correspondence, reports and summaries of cabinet and other papers.
It is pre-
sented under the general headings listed at the head of the Section, but there is
inevitably some overlap between various groups of papers, both within this Section
and in other parts of the collection, especially F.88 - F.252.
For material relating to wartiime projects at the Clarendon Laboratory see
B.34-.B.41.
Section D also contains some correspondence re wartime scientific
work.

G.1-G.100
BRITISH AND GERMAN AIR FORCE STRENGTH
The following papers document the dispute between Cherwell, the Air Ministry
and the Ministry of Economic Warfare over estimates of the comparative strength of
the British and German Air Forces.
The course of the disagreement, which arose
in the summer of 1940, has been described in the published literature.
In December
1940 Churchill appointed Sir John Singleton to make an independent enquiry into
the available estimates, but although Singleton presented a report to Churchill in
January 1941, many of the differences still remained unresolved.
A second report
was prepared by Singleton in August 1941, and this essentially marks the end of the
dispute, although correspondence and papers on the subject continue until 1945.
A few papers on other aspects of air warfare are included at the end of the
Section as follows:

Bay Patrol, March-April 1943.
At the 21st meeting of the Committee on Anti-U-boat Warfare (see G.119),
a paper waspresented by Admiral Stark suggesting that if aircraft could be made
available they should carry out as soon as possible a concentrated patrol and hunting
of U-boats in their greatest areas of concentration, namely, an area of 200 miles
wide across the entrance to the Biscay bases.
A special meeting was held on 5 April 1943 at which the Ministry of Aircraft
Production was asked, in consultation with Departments, to prepare an agreed note
as to the rate of monthly sinkings in the Bay which it might be expected to achieve
with a given increase in air strength.
The following papers include several drafts of a telegram to be sent by Churchill
to President Roosevelt, asking for additional aircraft to increase the possible effective-
ness of the Bay Patrol.

WEAPONS, DEFENSIVE DEVICES, MILITARY ORGANISATION
AND STRATEGY
The following papers reflect Cherwell's considerable interest and involvement
in the contribution of science to the war effort.
His interest in weapons development
has sometimes been dismissed as a mere love of 'gadgetry', but this criticism under-
rates the value of the support he gave to numerous projects for research and develop-
ment, even if in some cases his enthusiasm was misguided and the project eventually
proved unsuccessful.
The material is arranged by subject and presented in alphabetical order.
A list of contents appears overleaf, but it must be stressed that it has not been
possible to provide cross-references to other material on the topics listed which
may appear elsewhere in Section G or in other parts of the collection (especially
Sections Dand F).
Particular mention should be made here of some of the more
substantial sets of papers such as those on Bombs and Bombing (G.117-G.209)
M.D.1 (G.246-G. 306), U.P.s and Proximity Fuzes (G.376-G.409) and the German
V-Weapons (G.410-G.440).

The origins and history of M.D.1 are described in G. 246 as follows:

year, this building was badly damaged by enemy action, additional premises
were found at Whitchurch.
factory buildings and ranges were constructed, and Whitchurch became
a completely self-contained experimental station.
In due course fully equipped workshops,
In view of its production activities, the original War Office section
was in 1940 transferred to the Ministry of Supply and renamed M.D.1.
In 1942 M.D.1 became a Grade B Directorate under a Brigadier [M.R.
(later Sir Millis) Jefferis who was subsequently promoted to Major General.
After the war, in November 1945, the organisation was absorbed by the
Armaments Design Department and became one of their Groups, the O.C.
[R.S. Macrae] being given the rank of Colonel.
Cherwell maintained a close involvement with M.D.1 throughout its existence.
He visited Whitchurch regularly, kept in constant touch with the work in progress,
and endeavoured to draw the attention of Churchill and others to developments that
he thought were worth pursuing.

The summer of 1939 saw the setting up of the Projectile

of 'Unrotated Projectiles’ (rockets).
The research was
directed by A.D. (later Sir Alwyn) Crow and a wide
variety of weapons was investigated.
In September-October 1939, at Cherwell's instigation,
research was being carried out by the Admiralty into the
possibility of filling anti-aircraft shells with small aerial

and wire into a cylindrical container and attached as the head

weapon) was used as a defence against dive bombers from ships.

INVENTIONS AND IDEAS
In the course of the war Cherwell received many ideas for offensive or defensive
weapons, devices, methods for improving various aspects of the war effort or conditions
of life.
Some of these he answered himself; many were passed to J.L. Tuck for
evaluation and thence sometimes to other departments for further investigation, giving
rise in some cases to a substantial exchange of views.

Many of the papers in this Section
etc. on which the Statistical Section was detailed to keep a close watch and to notify
any desperate shortages.
There is also a considerable body of papers relating to the
negotiations with U.S.A. for supply of armaments, etc. on Lend-Lease, in some of
which Cherwell played a major part;
the majority of these papers have not previously
been available to researchers . The latter part of the Section deals with reconstruction
and relief, both topics on which Cherwell had strong views.
Inevitably there is some overlap between this Section and Sections F and G.

SECTION J
POLITICS AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY J.1 - J.163
Cherwell's political influence, direct and indirect, was considerable.
In addition
to his membership of official committees and advisory bodies consequential upon his
distinction as a scientist with special knowledge of aeronautics and defence, his
personal acquaintance with many leadingpoliticians and social figures suah as
Birkenhead, Simon and Churchill, with industrialists such as Mond, McGowan and
Nuffield, and newspaper proprietors and editors such as Beaverbrook, Camrose,
Barrington-Ward and others, all gave an unusual dimension to the pressure he could
bring to bear, on individuals and on general public opinion, in the inter-war years.
His advice was frequently solicited, whether on a personal basis or as a request to
submit a memorandum or an article for publication.
Cherwell was a Conservative. He supported the Party and its candidates at
elections, and most (not all) of his political writings were published in conservative

affairs of the Oxford Conservatives in City and University, and aspired to enter
Parliament as Burgess of the University at the General Election of 1935 and again
at the Oxford by-election in 1937 (see especially J.18 - J.46).
With the outbreak of war in 1939, the value placed by Churchill! on Cherwell's
advice assumed an altogether new importance, increased still further when Churchill

opposition, and to the Office of Paymaster-General after the Conservative victory
in the General Election of 1951.

SECTION K
PERSONAL AND SOCIAL CORRESPONDENCE _
K.1 - K.327
The material is presented in an alphabetical sequence.
Shorter exchanges
are grouped together in a single folder which may therefore include letters from more
than one correspondent; more extensive exchanges, or material of particular bio-
graphical interest, are assigned a separate folder or folders with terminal dates and
a brief indication of content.
Some of the exchangesare relatively trivial and consist of arrangements for
social engagements or holidays, letters of thanks for visits to Cherwell at Christ
Church or the Clarendon Laboratory, or for Cherwell's mediation in personal or
university matters, and the like.
Some references to political, military or scientific
affairs occur, and in addition there are substantial exchanges of personal letters,
with the Churchill and Melchett families, for instance, which complement the official
correspondence elsewhere in the collection and indicate the close affectionate
relations obtaining between Cherwell and his friends.
Cherwell was well known, not to say notorious, for his courting of aristocratic
or 'Society' connections during the inter-war years. The surviving correspondence,
while confirming the truth of the matter, also testifies to Cherwell's lasting personal
popularity with his distinguished hosts and hostesses, his affection for and under-
standing of their young families, and the range of guests and interests made available
to him under their roofs.
In some cases, the letters offer interesting sidelights on
changing social circumstances before, during and after the Second World War.
In his later years, Cherwell kept in touch with friends and acquaintances by
diligently sending birthday greetings, or messages of congratulation on honours or
appointments.
Numerous examples survive.
All identifiable correspondents are indexed; someof the early letters are
signed only with first or nick-names.
Very few of Cherwell's own letters survive,
presumably because no copieswere kept of handwritten letters.

CONSPECTUS OF FILE NUMBERS
367
As explained in the General Introduction, the Conspectus was compiled
to assist readers and researchers who had already consulted and made reference to
Cherwell's papers on the basis of the 1965 - 66 outline list.
The Conspectus relates the OFF. (= Official) numbers, which are listed
in the left-hand column, to the present item-numbers, which are listed on the right.
The presence of an item-number indicates that the folder of that number in the
present catalogue includes one or more pieces which had originally been in the
OFF. file.
Every document in question can be identified by the former OFF.
number in pencil at the head.
Exact duplicates have been discarded in order to ease pressure on library
space.
When, as frequently happened, multiple copies were taken with the result
that a letter or document might feature in one or more OFF. (and sometimes also
PERS.) files, all the relevant OFF. numbers appear on the remaining paper.
It will be seen that the contents of many of the OFF. files (e.g. OFF. 21.1,
38.1) are now widely distributed; that is because they were often unmanageably
large and (correctly) designated 'miscellaneous' or 'general correspondence’.
Conversely, many of the present folders have been assembled from a variety of
OFF. and PERS. files; examples of this are G.26, G.28 (on the size of the German
Air Force), D.23, D.24 (correspondence with M. Born), D.194 (correspondence
with A.P. Rowe), D.245, D.246 (correspondence with J.L. Tuck), K.40 (correspondence
with Brabazon of Tara), K.186 (correspondence with |. Lubin).
It is hoped that the
smaller size and more rational arrangement of the present folders will make the
material simpler to use.
