| Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Lord Rayleigh [Robert John Strutt], FRS |
| Date | 10 August 1923 |
| Description | Informs Lord Rayleigh [Robert John Strutt] that he has written to [Professor Thomas Martin] Lowry, asking whether the paper Lowry recently communicated to the Society, [Lieutenant Colonel James William] Gifford's paper 'Some Refractive Indices of Benzene and Cyclohexane', is suitable for publication. Assumes that Rayleigh will pass it under Standing Order 43 if Lowry replies favourably. Passes on Professor [Frank] Horton's and Professor [John Cunningham] McLennan's favourable reports on A. F. A. Young's paper 'The Thermionic and Photo-Electric Properties of the Electro-Positive Metals'. Suggests publishing it in full in the Proceedings, asks whether Rayleigh agrees. Finally mentions [Arthur] Schuster's report on [Harold Albert] Wilson's paper 'An Experiment on the Origin of the Earth's Magnetic Field', says that he is sending the paper to [Sydney] Chapman for a second reference, and asks if Rayleigh will pass it under Standing Order 43 if the second report is also favourable. |
