The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Thomas Henry Havelock, on a paper 'Stability of a viscous liquid contained between two rotating cylinders' by Geoffrey Ingram Taylor

Reference number: RR/28/24

Date: May 1922

Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Considers one of the other referees to have offered 'adverse criticism' [possibly RR/28/22 by Henry Reginald Arnulph Mallock], and provides some remarks in return. Believes the ciritcism may have come from a misunderstanding of the introduction to the paper.

[Published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 1923]
