| Creator | Crookes; William (1832-1919); British chemist |
| Date | 6 April 1907 |
| Description | Informs he will be staying in Exmouth for a while and confirms receipt of Swinton's letter and paper. He will send it to the Royal Society as it contains many interesting observations and one which he believes is quite new. Asks if it may be that the positive atoms, being so large, stick on the aluminium anticathode while the small negative electrons pass through and give up their chrage to the Faraday Cylinder. |
