| Title | Letter from Fredk [Frederick] Soddy, Chemical Laboratory, Glasgow University, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Soddy; Frederick (1877-1956); British chemist and social commentator |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 13 September 1906 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for his good offices with Soddy's paper, forwarded to the Philosophical Transactions. He is now repeating his alpha ray work by new methods and hopes to send in a paper. He will send a fortnight's notice if he can be in London for a meeting. He was interested in Larmor's comments on the possible reasons for the reluctance of the discharge. He has not proved that metallic vapours behave in the same way, but he may yet. He will do experiments on the alternative spark gap and appearence of fluorescence in a spectrum tube filled with mercury liquid and vapour at various temperatures. He comments on the chemical inertness of argon. |
