Letter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], 2 Grove Park, Liverpool, to [Joseph] Larmor He is ignorant of [Francis Gibson] Baily's paper and Baily did not consult him about it, Lodge having heard more from [James Alfred] Ewing. Larmor's objection weighs against Ewing's new theory. [Wilhelm Eduard] Weber's molecules were embedded in a viscous magma; Ewing's are fixed but free to follow forces. Spinning iron would behave differently in the two hypotheses, he thinks. He is not sure what experiments [Eleuthere] Mascart tried but he will look him up. Lodge will try the experiment, although he thinks it will be negative, but it will complete the argument on spinning disks. 3 October 1894
