Second letter from William Edward Ayrton, to Herbert Rix, regarding a paper 'On the asymmetrical distribution of terrestrial magentism' by Henry Wilde

Reference number: RR/10/393

Date: 13 February 1891

Description

A joint report with Arthur William Rucker was sent to the Royal Society three weeks ago, but does not seem to have reahced its destination. Can write another, but wonders if this is necessary, as the opinion on the paper was clearly given when the paper was read. Refers to Ettrick William Creak.
