Paper, 'On the action of oils on the motions of camphor on the surface of water' by Charles Tomlinson
Reference number: PP/16/24
Date: 1890
Description
Tomlinson writes: 'In Lord Rayleigh’s paper on the above subject, read before the Royal Society on the 27th March last [see PP/15/25], and reported in ‘Nature’ of the 8th May, it is stated that a film of olive oil, in two or three cases, “was incompetent to stop the camphor motions upon a surface including only a few square inches.” I have often noticed this fact as a consequence of the use of chemically-clean materials.'
