TitleLetter from T E [Thomas Ernest] Stanton, Bushy House, Teddington, to [Joseph Larmor]
CreatorStanton; Thomas Ernest (1865-1931); British mechanical engineer and aerodynamicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date12 November 1906
DescriptionHe has been making observations on the lateral variations in velocity of air in a gust of wind, to explain why pressure on a small plate is greater in mean intensity than on a large plate. Larmor took an interest in his previous work and he asks if he would criticise Stanton's conclusions, which he outlines. He would be grateful to know if Larmor thinks it safe to make these conclusions without a more rigorous definition of the lateral variations in velocity.
