The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Walter Rosenhain, on a paper 'The failure of sprial steel spring under repetition stresses' by F C Lea and J D Vaughan

Reference number: RR/31/13

Date: June 1924

Description

Sectional Committee: Engineering Sciences

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. The paper covers only technical aspects of the problem. The experimental method is interesting, but not novel. 'Taking the above together, it appears that publication by the [Royal Society] would confer on a decidedly mediocre paper an altogether undue degree of importance].
