Referee's report by Geoffrey Ingram Taylor, on a paper 'Some theoretical considerations on the dynamic properties of plastics' by N F Astbury Sectional Committee: Physics Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London', subject to alterations. Suggests either giving better descriptions of the experiments, or deleting reference to them. Refers to work of Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann and Vito Volterra. Does not think papers without proper experimental description should be published. [Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'] No received date. 27 July 1948
