Referee's report by John Walter Ryde, on a paper 'Measurement of the growth of the high frequency electrodeless discharge' by G Francis and A von Engel Sectional committee: Physics Paper reference code: A170 Recommended for publication in the Proceedings. Ryde comments if the paper was on its own, he would recommend publication by the Physical Society. However as it is short and gives experimental confirmation of the theory in paper A169, therefore it is suggested the paper be published in the Proceedings as a companion paper to A169. [Both parts published together in Philosophical Transactions A, 1953, with an additional author credit for Frederick Alexander Lindemann]. Date received not given. 24 October 1952
