| Title | Letter from Dr [John Ambrose] Fleming, The Pender Electrical Laboratory, University College, Gower Street, London, W.C, to Sir William Crookes, [Royal Society] |
| Creator | Fleming; Sir; John Ambrose (1849 - 1945); electrical engineer |
| Date | 19 June 1915 |
| Description | Refers to correspondence in The Times on "The Mobilization of Invention", to which he contributed, stating he has since received many written and oral communications expressing a deep desire to see the forces of scientific research and ivention organised for the purposes of the war. Opines that the Royal Society should put itself at the head of the movement, urging Crookes to call a special meeting of the Fellows to address how the powers of scientific research and invention can be best organised at the present time, not only for victory in the war but for the consolidation and maintenance of the position of science when peace returns. |
