Reference number: RR/67/157
Date: 29 February 1940

Description
Communicates the paper for publication. He doesn't think there will be any issues with regard to 'national interest', but he supposes the Society will ask some government departments their opinion. The 'civil defense people' are most likely to be interested in the paper, as will the Ministry of Supply.
Includes copy of both paper's summary.
[Both papers published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1946].
