Hardware

From the Rev Bernard T. Croft Sir: Please, what does "hardware" mean as used by Mr Logie Bruce Lockhart in his article (January 24) about the teaching of languages? ("Can handle hardware ... can't manage hardware")

Whilst writing, may I for one say how much I like your new look; don't take any notice of those bright young Cambridge men.
