| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, Medindee, Burton Road, Didsbury, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 31 May 1894 |
| Description | Thanking Larmor for corrections [to Hydrodynamics] which he ought to have acknowledged before. Lamb is not satisfied with the section on the motion of solids, but cannot improve it without delaying things. He has no time to consider it now, and any result might not help. He discusses this, thinking that the issue might be 'my want of imagination'. He sees the point of Larmor's criticism in the motion of a sphere in a cyclic vessel, but Lamb wanted a restricted problem, not being able to think about a liquid with motion in infinity. Lamb finds less interest in all of this than he did ten years ago and he is impatient to get to more physical applications. He will be in Cambridge around 9-10 June and will try to see Larmor. He hopes to have a holiday and that their projected trip may be possible. |
