The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by William Ramsay, on a paper, 'The combination of hydrogen & oxygen in contact with hot surfaces' by William Arthur Bone and R V Wheeler

Reference number: RR/16/270

Date: January 1906

Description

Secitonal Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions in full. Wonders if the mean values may be given in the tables so as to save much space. Lists tables that may be omitted in section two. He thinks the curves might be omitted as they convey nothing which the figures themselves do not. It is a good but long-winded paper. His suggested omissions would make it much more readable.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1906].

Endorsed on verso as received 8 January 1906.
