| Title | Letter from T E [Thomas Ernest] Stanton, the National Physical Laboratory, Bushy House, Teddington, Middlesex, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Stanton; Thomas Ernest (1865-1931); British mechanical engineer and aerodynamicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 12 March 1908 |
| Description | Larmor will be interested to see the close agreement between their experiments and those made by [Gustav] Eiffel on plates let fall from the second stage of the Eiffel Tower. He has plotted the means on a diagram, which he sends [not present]. They have recently taken observations on the pressure on the leeward side of plates exposed to wind, and finds that the suction effect is greater on the larger plate than the smaller one. The result is sufficient to account for the differences in total resistance shown in the curves. |
