Referee's report by Edmund Clifton Stoner, on a paper 'The negative ions of atomic and molecular oxygen' by David Robert Bates and Harrie Stewart Wilson Massey

Reference number: RR/68/7

Date: 31 December 1941

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Finds the conclusions difficult to determine as they are buried in the detail of the paper. Suggests adding a final section to clearly outline the conclusions.

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