TitleCopy of report by [Gordon Brims Black McIvor] Sutherland on a paper 'Representation algebra and internuclear vibrations' by A C Menzies and K Weissenberg
Date[July - November 1938]
DescriptionPaper reference code: A.114

[Originally enclosed with RR/W/6/63]

States that the paper is not very accessible to the reader. Critiques the paper's argument. Suggests shortening the paper significantly, highlighting areas of repetition. Suggests part of the paper might be more suitable for a mathematics journal, which would allow space for the rest of the paper to be written with clarity. Highlights lack of clarity in references to [Andreas] Speiser and [Eugene] Wigner. Does not recommend publication 'unless some dramatic re-casting of the paper is done'.

[Not published].
