Reference number: RR/68/216

Date: 1942

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. For a theory that does not claim great accuracy, the tables contains too many figures. All of the tables except the first could be replaced with logarithmic graphs.

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