Reference number: RR/45/102

Date: 08 September 1932

Description

Sectional Committee: Chemistry

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London', in part. 'The lengthy theoretical portion is of little or no value', but the experimental data might be printed somewhere. Suggests printing the results with just a brief theoretical discussion. Suggests seeking the opinion of the referees for Part I. Criticises the theoretical part dealing with ionisation.
