TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to Professor [Charles Herbert] Lees, Fellow of the Royal Society
Date5 June 1913
DescriptionProfessor Townsend reports favourably on the paper by Dr Rankine on 'A method of measuring the viscosity of the vapours of volatile liquids, etc.,' but suggests that the last seven pages, where the results are discussed, might be abbreviated. Professor Arthur Schuster thinks it is not worth worrying the author on this point as the paper only runs to 14 pages. Asks Lees for his views.
