Referee's report by Thomas Edward Thorpe, on two papers 'A study of the Planté lead-sulphuric acid-lead peroxide cell, from a chemical stand-point. Part I' and 'A study of the Planté lead-sulphuric acid-lead peroxide cell, from a chemical stand-point. Part II.—A discussion of the chemical changes occurring in the cell' by G H Robertson and H E Armstrong

Reference number: RR/11/82

Date: 1891

Description

Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. If it is published at all, it requires careful editing. Better results could be obtained if both papers have them both as authors, with the experimental portion communicated by Robertson and the results discussed by Armstrong.

Subject: Chemistry

[Both papers published in Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1891].
