| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | c December 1908 |
| Description | Huggins has developed the photograph and was shocked to find the N spectrum now reappeared and that there seems to be no continuous spectrum from the results. The Ra has turned brown and is less luminous. The H probably affects the rate of production of emanations in Ra, and it would seem that N is slowly produced. There was no trace of N in the former photos. Huggins notes he must not say anything to Cambridge. |
