Referee's report by Alfred Charles Glyn Egerton, on a paper 'The mechanism of the formation of condensation products of methane by the pyrolysis of ethane, ethylene etc' by M O Travers and J J P Pearce

Reference number: RR/52/113

Date: 09 July 1934

Description

Sectional committee: Chemistry

Recommended for publication in Proceedings. It is not suitable for publication in Philosophical Transactions, as there is too much uncertainty about the deductions from experimental results. The paper could be shortened or split into two parts. He has found the paper 'difficult to referee' and is still rather uncertain about it.

[Not published].

Endorsed on verso as received 10 July 1934.
