  <dc:title>Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Professor [Frederick Alexander] Lindemann, FRS</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Refers to the paper by Professor Taylor Jones, Morgan and Wheeler, 'The ignition of gases by electric sparks', that Professor [Frederick Alexander] Lindemann recently reported on. Asks him to clarify whether it is now universally accepted that the process of ignition of a gas by electric sparks is accomplished through ionisation, or whether there is a body of people who believe that the process is one of conduction of heat. </dc:description>
