TitleLetter from W [William] Ramsay, University College, University of London, Gower Street, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorRamsay; Sir William (1852-1916); British physical chemist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date18 December 1906
DescriptionRamsay encloses suggested alterations, convinced that [James] Dewar is 'bluffing & blundering as usual'. He gives examples of Dewar's work from two Proceedings papers, one of which must be a mistake. Lennox, Heath & Company have given him the wrong figures, Ramsay suggests. It is not the only case, however, citing an old paper by [Gerrard] Ansdell and Dewar where 'everything is ridiculously wrong'.
