Reference number: RR/68/460
Date: 1944

Description
Sectional Committee: Mathematics
Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. Suggests the paper could be advantageously shortened further. However, as the author refuses to shorten the paper further, and believes that his work has advantages over the previous work of others, the paper should be published in it's present form.
Contains extra question - 'Is there any information contained in the paper which likely to be of value to the enemy?' Referee replies no.
