Letter from Alfred Charles Glyn Egerton, on a paper 'On the catalytic cyclization of aliphatic hydrocarbons. I' by Eric Keightley Rideal and E F G Herington to Frank Sturdy Sinnatt

Reference number: RR/67/384

Date: 22 October 1941

Description

Asks if Sinnatt will look over the paper and decide if it should be printed now or after the war. Taylor has been publishing similar work and the Royal Society doesn't want to hold up publishing if results of equal value are being published in the United States.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1945].
