| Title | Letter from Fred T [Frederick Thomas] Trouton, Caerleon, Killiney, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Trouton; Frederick Thomas (1863-1922); Irish experimental physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 19 January 1902 |
| Description | Trouton has corrected the proofs of the joint paper for [George Francis] Fitzgerald's book. He does not think there were any joint notes in 'Nature', they were all written by Trouton. The editor wanted a popular account and Trouton undertook to do it, adding what work he had done in the laboratory. He has been working since Christmas and he now thinks he has found movement, describing the result of the experiment, with deflections and electrical data. The observations are complicated by the magnetic action of the changing current setting. Trouton is having another condenser built and is making one himself. He concludes by asking Larmor what he thinks of [William Mitchinson] Hicks's paper |
