The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Second referee's report by Edmund Clifton Stoner, on two papers 'The low-temperature properties of gaseous helium. II' by R A Buckingham, J Hamilton and Harrie Stewart Wilson Massey

Reference number: RR/67/40

Date: 05 February 1941

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in Proceedings. The paper is very thorough and should be published, although it can be difficult to follow. The paper should be returned to the authors and they should carefully read it, setting aside their familiarity of the details. This may bring out the essential points more clearly for other readers.

Contains extra question - 'Is there any information contained in the paper which likely to be of value to the enemy?' Referee replies no.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1941].

Endorsed on verso as received 6 February 1941.
