TitleLetter from Horace Lamb, 6 Wilbraham Road, Fallowfield, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorLamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date17 May 1898
DescriptionIf the other referee is lenient and the paper printed, he will do his best to correct the oversight on the mathematics tripos question. He is sorry that Larmor did not publish it 'in some more aggressive manner, with the diagrams'. Lamb does not feel any conceit about the paper. After R's [Rayleigh's?] paper the work was very easy apart from the preliminary electrostatic problem. In this, Lamb has been anticipated, and also in J.J.T.'s [Joseph John Thomson's] article, despite its eccenrticties. He will try to emphasise the reflecting power of an open grating of a series of narrow slits at wide intervals.
