Referee's report by Osborne Reynolds, on a paper 'The influence of stress and strain on the physical properties of matter. Part I. Elasticity—continued. The internal friction of metals' by Herbert Tomlinson

Reference number: RR/9/406

Date: 17 March 1886

Description

Not recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions, as 'the wire-drawing renders the wire unfit to withstand torsional strain'. This is 'well known to metal workers but apparently unknown' to the author. There are come points of interest in the paper so the experimental results could be published in Proceedings.

Subject: Physics

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1886].
