TitleCopy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to the Lord Rayleigh [Robert John Strutt], Chairman of the Physics Committee and FRS
Date21 February 1922
DescriptionInforms the Lord Rayleigh that the report on [David William] Dye's paper, 'Calculation of a primary standard of mutual inductance of the Campbell type', was favourable and asks if it can be passed under Standing Order 43. With regards to the application from Ryves for a Government Grant, notes it is unlikely that Council would have granted the initial sum of £120 to him if they had anticipated these futher demands. Further notes, however, that the final decision lies with the Lord Rayleigh's Committee.
