| Description | He has made several trials of the [Victor] Cremieu experiment with equipment replacing his original rough arrangement. He describes this, including an especially sensitive galvanometer, but nothing was observed. He has planned a new apparatus, and was to put it into the hands of makers, but fears the expense. He supposes that Larmor has seen that Cremieu repeated Rowland's experiment and found nothing. He asks if Larmor thinks he should proceed. One of his students, D. Taylor, has just gone up to St. John's College. He is good but may find the scholarship papers a little strange. Gray hopes that Taylor will acquit himself well, as he has no private means. If Larmor sees him, and if he is not too shy, he may be found to be 'an interesting specimen of the poor Scottish scholar'. |
