THE WEINBERG CASTING APPARATUS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—We are informed that the Executive Committee of the Board of Shechita have received from licensed carcass butchers slaughtering at Islington the following undertaking signed by them :-
" We have agreed with Mr. Lissack and Dr. Lucas to give the Weinberg Box a test with 200 Bullocks beginning the first week in January and to be completed by the third week in January, subject to confirmation by the Board of Shechita to guarantee any extra
labour expenses, insurance, or damage clone to cattle or beefy entailed by this trial."
The executive committee of the Board of Shechita have agreed to this arrangement.---I am, Sir, &c., Heneage Lane, Bevis Marks, London, E.C. 3.
[We are very pleased to print this letter from the Board for the Affairs of Shechita and to learn that an experiment with a casting machine is to- be made early in the new year. In response to an article entitled " An Appeal to British Jews," we recently published a letter by Mr. Emanuel, in which the latter defended the Board of Shechita against the charge that it has been to blame for the delay which has occurred with regard to the trial of the Weinberg Casting Pen. Mr. Emanuel sought to lay the blame on the inventor, and we have now received a long letter from Mr. Weinberg, in which he traverses all the material statements made by Mr. Emanuel, whom he holds to have been "grossly misinformed" upon almost every point which affects the issue. In support of his contention he has permitted a representative of the Spectator to see the correspondence which has passed between himself and the Board of Shechita. We have decided, however, to pigeon-hole Mr. Weinberg's reply, for no useful purpose will be -served by debating as to the responsibility for past delays.--En. Spectator.]
