Letter from [Christopher Kelk] Ingold to [Alfred Charles Glyn] Egerton, regarding papers 'Heterogenous catalysis and enzyme reactions' by [Edward Charles Cyril] Baly, 'The photosynthesis of carbohydrates from hydrated carbon dioxide' by Baly, and 'The adsorption of the hydrous metallic oxides Kieselghur' by Baly, W P Pepper and C E Vernon

Reference number: RR/W/6/109

Date: 13 January 1939

Description

Paper reference code: A.193, A.194 and A.195

Believes the second paper to be the most promising, and notes that [Cyril Norman] Hinshelwood will produce a good report on it. If Hinshelwood disagrees with E J B [Edmund John Bowen] he will explain his reasoning, and if he agrees the paper will likely be withdrawn. Is not interested in the first paper.

[A.193 and A.195 - Not published, A.194 was published - see RR/66/14-19].
