The first letter from Arther C Clarke to Stanley Kubrick in this file, dated 8 April 1964 refers to enclosures sent with the letter. It is possible that one of the loose articles in the file entitled 'Extra-Terrestrial Relays' was one of the enclosures. Peter Kramer in '2001: A Space Odyssey' (BFI Classics, 2004) suggests the enclosure could have been 'The World of the Communications Satellite'
