TitleLetter from H H [Herbert Hall] Turner, Royal Hotel, Great Yarmouth, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorTurner; Herbert Hall (1861-1930); British astronomer and seismologist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date15 September 1906
DescriptionThey could not understand whether the diagram shown was the path of the Pole or the hodagraph. Turner thought it must be the path, therefore it was because Larmor got a progressive tendency to the Pacific that Turner thought of the error of assumed origin. This would give this result of a constant velocity in one direction combined with a rotation about the correct origin. He asks if Larmor will read the paper on 9 November and dine at the Club afterwards.
