| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, 6 Wilbraham Road, Fellowfield, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 24 February 1917 |
| Description | He sends a letter received from [Augustus Edward Hough] Love. He would dread having to adjudicate on attraction and gravitation. His suggestion on sound waves in moving media was to obtain a more exact solution. He would like to have some approach to what happens when conditions are violated, as in [Ernst] Mach's and [Charles Vernon] Boys' experiments on projectiles, or in the simple case of a collapse in a spherical cavity in water. |
