| Creator | Crookes; William (1832-1919); British chemist |
| Date | 13 November 1907 |
| Description | Believes that the experiments on vacuum tumes actuated by a battery are worth sending to the Royal Society. Suggests that Swinton push the research a little further to cover more ground. Refers to Delarue's excellent experiments but highlighting that much has been discovered since he died, and that with Swinton's experimental skill and fertility of resource, he could carry the research a lot further. |
