Reference number: RR/66/22

Date: 02 January 1940

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Does not know where the delay could have occurred. In view of the long delay since communication, it should be published. Does not agree with the comments of Cyril Norman Hinshelwood, but does not think there is point in arguing the matter further.

[Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London']
