| Title | Letter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], 2 Grove Park, Liverpool, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 29 October 1893 |
| Description | He heard from [George Francis?] Fitzgerald that Larmor was on 'a great & good piece of work' and wishes him success. He has attended principally to water and CS2, regarding air as a problem. He felt hopeless of a result in air but will look at it again; air is easier than liquids. He wonders if Larmor has a rough estimate of the effect to be detected. His CS2 rotated the plane 360 degrees of more, but the air rotation effect he could not swear to. It will be difficult to see. He queries what Larmor means by the Michelson result for air. |
