| Title | Letter from [Thomas Edward] Thorpe, Government Laboratory, Clement's Inn Passage, Strand, London, to Professor [Joseph] Larmor, The Royal Society, Burlington House |
| Creator | Thorpe; Sir; Thomas Edward (1845-1925); British chemist |
| Date | 8 December 1906 |
| Description | Thorpe refers to a conversation he had with [Richard Tetley] glazebrook, about 'enlisting the help of the various Universities and Colleges throughout the country with a view of gradually accumulating data as to Secular Change in the Magnetic Elements in the British Isles'. Suggests if a letter could be sent on behalf of the Council of the Royal Society, or Larmor to the hads of physical departments at various places this would induce assistance to be more forthcoming. Thorpe would like the details to be detemrined by a small committee of which Rucker, glazebrook and Chree should be members, and he suggests 'that determinations of declination, force and dip made by the Kew pattern instruments twice a year, at fixed periods'. |
