To the Editor.
Referring to your editorial footnote to my letter which appeared in your last issue, I am aware that Stevenson in his "Top of the Table Game" says that "the contact occurs half-way nearer the middle of the object ball than the cue points to"—nevertheless the statement is absolutely inaccurate, as any schoolboy with a pair of compasses, a ruler, and a pencil, can easily show.
I enclose a diagram to prove the truth of what I say, although it is not necessary that the diagram should be published.
