| Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Professor [John Sealy Edeard] Townsend, FRS |
| Date | 29 June 1921 |
| Description | Refers to the paper by Professor Taylor Jones, [Morgan and Wheeler], 'The ignition of gases by electric sparks'. Explains that the question still remains whether or not the conduction of heat explains 'certain things'. Notes that an abstract has recently come to his attention which seems to suggest it does not, and that any explanation based soley on the conduction of heat cannot succeed. Asks Professor [John Sealy Edward] Townsend for his opinion on the matter. |
