Referee's report by Nicholas Kemmer, on a paper 'Tensor identities in wave tensor calculus' by C W Kilmister

Reference number: RR/75/34

Date: 07 March 1951

Recommended for publication in the Proceedings. Kemmer notes the paper is of interest in the context of Eddington's 'Fundamental Theory', and he belongs to the 'majority' who fail to follow Eddington's ideas, therefore is difficult to decide a recommendation.
