TitleReferee's report by Walter Rosenhain, on a paper 'The failure of sprial steel spring under repetition stresses' by F C Lea and J D Vaughan
Date[June 1924]
DescriptionSectional Committee: Engineering Sciences

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. The paper covers only technical aspects of the problem. The experimental method is interesting, but not novel. 'Taking the above together, it appears that publication by the [Royal Society] would confer on a decidedly mediocre paper an altogether undue degree of importance].
