“In comparison with the unwieldy mechanical clutter of the Monotype or Linotype apparatuses, the Bhisotype was a sleek and compact affair. ‘The illustration of this machine shows such a small and simple-looking implement that one wonders how its claimed output could be so great,’ Richard E. Huss comments in his authoritative work on the history of mechanical typesetting methods.32Yet it did, indeed, yield an impressive output, producing some 2,400 types per minute, thereby outperforming an industry leader, the Wicks rotary typecasting machine, which could produce, at most, around 1,100 types per minute. Requiring minimal electricity and costing only a fraction of Linotype or Monotype machines, the complete Bhisotype machine—consisting of a typecaster and ten type-composing units—seemed set to revolutionise the printing world.33”

“In addition they travelled maddening distances between games with very few rest days, in a schedule to suit the counties they played rather than logic. Though no Test matches, the tour finished in Bristol with a game against a Gloucestershire team including WG and Gilbert Jessop.

The captain of England at the time was Pelham 'Plum' Warner, who wrote..

There is a case in point of the extraordinary power the game has over its votaries in this matter of sinking all prejudices and dislike, real or imaginary, in the tour in the United Kingdom of a team from India composed of men of all castes and creeds. I make so bold as to say that this travelling and living together of natives of various castes and creeds will have far-reaching effect in India.
