Referee's report by John Aitken, on a paper 'On the comparative efficiency as condensation nuclei of positively and negatively charged ions' by Charles Thomson Rees Wilson

Reference number: RR/14/273

Date: 21 June 1899

Description

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society', in a shorter form. However the paper is valuable uncut, and could be published in the Proceedings.
