Referee's report by George Carey Foster, on a paper 'Effects of stress on the thermoelectric quality of metals. Part I' by James Alfred Ewing

Reference number: RR/8/289

Date: 1881

Description

Recommended for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. The investigation does not get to the root of the observed effects. The full exploration should be published, an expand upon the abstract already published in the Proceedings. Suggests holding the paper until the implied Part II is ready.
