The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Memorandum from J D Griffith Davies, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, on a paper 'Precipitation in the alloys of copper and silver' by Charles Sykes and W F Cox to Henry Lewis Guy

Reference number: RR/67/67

Date: 12 February 1940

Description

Egerton suggested that the paper may be sent to Desch and Hume-Rothery, if another referee is required. Does Guy agree?

Guy thinks that Desch will send on the paper to G D Preston, as the subject matter isn't Desch's speciality. Hume-Rothery should be familiar with the subject matter. Another alternative referee is A S Bradley.

[Not published].

Endorsed on recto as received 17 February 1940.
