| Title | Letter from Charles H [Herbert] Lees, Greenacres, Mayfield Avenue, Woodford Green, Essex, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lees; Charles Herbert (1864-1952); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 15 April 1901 |
| Description | He called at the [Royal] Society's rooms to get his thermal condictivity paper but found the place closed. He will call again next week. He agrees with the refereeing remarks that the observational work is of chief importance, and the mathematics might be simplified if that does not leave room for remarks such as those of the referee that he had made assumptions. Most of the theory was worked out with Bessel functions, so his approximate solutions did not introduce errors as large as the experimental errors. He could go back to more rigid solutons, but this would expand the paper. |
