| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, 6 Wilbraham Road, Fallowfield, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 17 May 1898 |
| Description | If the other referee is lenient and the paper printed, he will do his best to correct the oversight on the mathematics tripos question. He is sorry that Larmor did not publish it 'in some more aggressive manner, with the diagrams'. Lamb does not feel any conceit about the paper. After R's [Rayleigh's?] paper the work was very easy apart from the preliminary electrostatic problem. In this, Lamb has been anticipated, and also in J.J.T.'s [Joseph John Thomson's] article, despite its eccenrticties. He will try to emphasise the reflecting power of an open grating of a series of narrow slits at wide intervals. |
