| Title | Letter from H M [Hector Munro] Macdonald, 52 College Bounds, Old Aberdeen, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Macdonald; Hector Munro (1865-1935); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 7 November 1907 |
| Description | He has struggled with the document which Larmor gave him [presumably paper 'The diurnal variation of terrestrial magnetism' by Arthur Schuster]. He thinks it very undigested by the author and hopes to let Larmor have it back next week. The 'physiology man here' [Arthur Robertson Cushny?] has asked what is the most delicate telephone receiver on the market, as he wishes to detect feeble muscular and nervous electric currents. He also wishes to know if small vibrations from such currents can be visualised. Mrs Niven has asked him to convey remembrances to Larmor. He hopes to see Larmor next Thursday if he can tear himself away from the Royal Society. |
