RecipientRideal; Sir; Eric Keightley (1890 - 1974); British chemist
Date21 December 1946
DescriptionRecalling a suggestion that a discussion on rheology might be organised by the Royal Society and which could include discussion of the work carried out on flame thrower fuels and other related problems that arose during the war. Rideal may be able to tell Egerton what other activities have not been thoroughly discussed or published. Someone will need to be found to organise the discussion, and Egerton suggests a day in June, likely the 5th. He has no doubt that Lander, Weissenberg. Alexander, F H Garner, Nissan, and others would be interested in taking part in the flame thrower discussion, with C M Cawley involved to organise this part of the discussion. He asks if Barr should be involved.
