The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Thomas Edward Allibone, on a paper 'Constitution and mechanism of the selenium rectifier photocell' by J S Preston

Reference number: RR/72/224

Date: 1949

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Recommended for publication in Proceedings, after modification. The paper could be greatly condensed and the phraseology is very loose in places. The introduction states more than is necessary and there is too much repetition ibn the conclusions.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1950].
