| Title | Letter from Alex [Alexander] Larmor, Drumadillar, Demesne Road, Holywood, Belfast, to Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Larmor; Alexander (d.1936); Irish mathematician and science educator |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 27 February 1930 |
| Description | He has been trying to adapt Joseph's orbital action formula 'to make it lead to an advance of the perihelion of a planet in agreement with Einstein's value' and asks for Jospeh's opinion on his attempt, which he has modified taking into account the Fitzgerald contraction. They are satisfied with house and surroundings, electric light standards have been added to the street and shops, but gas will continue for a week or two. They find the gramophone a gerat resource. All are well. |
