The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Hugh Longbourne Callendar, on a paper 'Researches on Explosives. Part III' by Sir Andrew Noble

Reference number: RR/16/350

Date: June 1905

Description

Sectional commitee: Physics and chemistry

Callendar thinks the paper should be published in full and without modification in the Philosophical Transactions. All the accompanying illustrations should be reproduced. He does not feel entirely competent to appreciate all the details of the paper, but such parts and measurements as he feels able to criticize have been admirably carried out.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1906].

Endorsed on verso as received 17 June 1905.
