| Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to [Robert John Strutt] Lord Rayleigh, FRS |
| Date | 18 February 1924 |
| Description | Informs Robert John Strutt as [Joseph] Thomson has already spoken to him, and sent no letter regarding the potential dangers [of flying pipes], Strutt can proceed with the experiment, reminds him that the radium is at the Royal Society to be picked up. Also updates that Merton has reported unfavourable on the paper 'The band spectrum of potassium' by Grayson Smith and expresses frustration at [John Cunningham] McLennan communicating 'half-baked papers'; suggests not sending the paper to a second referee and writing back to McLennan that there is no chance of the paper being published, unless Strutt would like to look through it, but suggests it would be a waste of time. |
