The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Letter from David Randall Pye, to Alfred Charles Glyn Egerton, regarding a paper 'The spectra of chilled hydrocarbon flames' by Alfred Gordon Gaydon

Reference number: RR/68/68

Date: 03 June 1941

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Does not think the paper contains anything that would prevent publication. The results are interesting, but spectrographic work is outside his experience, so cannot fully judge its quality for publication in the Proceedings. Thinks the recipient would be a better judge of this.
