Description

Sectional Committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. The paper covers a general survey of the phenomena observed and is qualitative in approach. Suggests the paper be reduced in length, and some of the diagrams merged.

Appended letter from William Edward Garner, to David Christie Martin, dated 27 May 1948. Can only give a general impression on the paper, as he was not closely involved in the work during the war. It is worth publishing as a general account. No received date.

Second appended letter from William Edward Garner, to David Christie Martin, dated 3 September 1948. The paper has been reduced in length and is now suitable for publication. Endorsed on recto as received 4 September 1948.
