Letter from Eric Keightley Rideal, regarding a paper 'On the catalytic cyclization of aliphatic hydrocarbons. II' by E F G Herington and Eric Keightley Rideal

Reference number: RR/68/363

Date: 23 November 1943

Description

Sectional Committee: Chemistry

Encloses the paper. Quotes the recommendation of Dr Parker, stating that the necessary authority has been given for the paper to be published in Proceedings C. Would like to send a copy to each member of the Fuel Research Board. Requests 30 copies of the paper. It appears Parker has assumed the paper will be accepted by the Royal Society. Does not know if the members of the Fuel Research Board are competent referees. Requests seats for lunch on St. Andrews Day if there are any available.
