The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Frederick Alexander Lindemann, Viscount Cherwell, on a paper 'A new apparatus for rapid spectrophotometry of liquids in the ultra-violet region' by Frank Twyman

Reference number: RR/46/111

Date: June 1932

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Finds the paper more suited for the Journal of Scientific Instruments. No new principle is involved or presented.

Appended note from a conversation with the referee. Suggests the paper could be reduced to a few paragraphs and the figures omitted as unnecessary. A note could be sent to Nature, giving a brief outline of the new apparatus.

[Not published]

Endorsed on verso as received 11 June 1932.
