| Title | Letter from Harold A [Albert] Wilson, Trinity College, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Wilson; Harold Albert (1874-1964); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 15 May 1903 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for his solution of the rotating dialectric cylinder problem. His own solution was a rough approximation and he intended to get a complete solution if he could. He thinks Larmor's is right, provided there are no algebraic slips. He has kept a copy to work on soon. He comments of the sliding contact between the cylinders. Wilson does not think he will get the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Compnay to make the apparatus, after his experience with a galvanometer of theiors which was 'a complete failure and almost useless'. |
