Letter from 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 to David Christie Martin, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society

Reference number: RR/69/272

Date: 03 January 1946

Description

The author 'cannot be aware of the present position with regard to the Acta Crystallographica'. The publication is likely to happen in a few months . Some other x-ray crystallographers are holding back suitable papers for this new publication. If the author thinks his paper should accompany Booth's then a second opinion should be sought.

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