TitleLetter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], 2 Grove Park, Liverpool, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date30 April 1895
DescriptionLarmor's last letter explains the classical rotation experiment of [Michael] Faraday exactly as Faraday did, but not as it is orthodox to do so now. Attention is now directed to the line which cut the external circuit. He is now inclined to return to Faraday's conception, hence he wrote to Larmor and Fitzgerald with queries. He will see from the enclosed [not present] that Fitzgerald takes the opposite view from Larmor.
