Reference number: RR/61/13

Description
Sectional committee: Mathematics
Not recommended for publication. The author's answer hasn't met his criticisms at all and assumptions still take up a large amount of the paper. He cannot find any value in the paper and as the paper is part of a series, it should be a 'sound and self-consistent bassi for his work'.
[Not published].
Endorsed on verso as received 31 May 1937.
