The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Kathleen Yardley Lonsdale, on a paper 'The accuracy of bond-length estimations obtained by double Fourier series methods from X-ray data' by John Monteath Robertson and John Graham White

Reference number: RR/69/271

Date: 1946

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

She is doubtful if the paper should be published. The study is not exhaustive and it is doubtful whether anyone apart from specialists can appreciate the limitations of the paper. The paper may be better published by the Faraday Society or in the proposed Acta Crystallographica.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1947].
