The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by George Gabriel Stokes, on a paper 'Lines of Induction in a Magnetic Field' by Henry Selby Hele-Shaw and Alfred Hay

Reference number: RR/15/59

Date: 07 July 1900

Description

Sectional committee: Physics and chemistry

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions in full without modification and with all the illustrations reproduced. With regards sheets five and twelve of the 'beautiful photographs' he cannot recommend either omission or reduction of scale as it is already necessary to use a lens to bring out the detail in some of them. The figures would have to be reproduced by a photographic process and the authors would probably be willing to lend the original negatives if this would facilitate matters.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1900].
