| Title | Letter from Morris William Travers to D C Martin, concerning a paper 'The thermal decomposition of normal paraffin hydrocarbons' by C G Silcocks and Morris William Travers |
| Date | 4 November 1952 |
| Description | Paper reference code: A175
Travers strongly refutes all the referees' objections, stating they belong to the 'Oxford school' rather than the 'old-fashioned experimental school' that Travers is part of. He disagrees that free radicals are involved in the decomposition of hydrocarbons and suggests the opinion of a referee supportive to his ideas is sought.
