| Title | Letter from James Dewar, Royal Institution of Great Britain, London, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Dewar; Sir James (1842-1923); British chemist and physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 15 November 1906 |
| Description | Dewar finds that the use of metallic calcium in the separation of argon and rare gases is correct, giving a reference to 'Comptes Rendus'. Other 1906 papers dealing with the rare gases separated from mineral waters all over France have appeared, including the use of the charcoal method. Dewar thinks it childish that the Royal [Society] and [Frederick] Soddy should put an obviously transparent fact as an objection to the charcoal vacuum, which had been used all over the continent. He concludes by giving Larmor a paper reference. |
