Letter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], Mariemont, Edgbaston, to [Joseph] Larmor He asked [John Henry] Poynting about radiation and zodiacal light and he told Lodge the gist of it, which he thought 'a good & valid thing'. Lodge should have spotted it when doing other work, and he believes that Poynting should have communicated it to the British Association; Poynting says that 'it was taken as read' at the Royal Society. Lodge thinks it is like 'the piling of a condensed wave of air in front of a bullet', before changing his mind about the analogy. 7 October 1903
