The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Charles Vernon Boys, on a paper 'On principles, methods and applications of drop-formation in the scientific measurement of liquids' by R Donald

Reference number: RR/19/35

Date: December 1912

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Considers the paper incomplete, long and the bibliography 'a waste of time'. Suggests the author write a short description of the instrument with a few illustrations, which might be suited for the Proceedings. The instrument is practical and a published description would be useful.

[Not published]
