| Title | Referee's report by Joseph Larmor, on a paper 'The electrical conductivity imparted to a vacuum by hot conductors' by Owen Willans Richardson |
| Date | 29 March 1903 |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry
Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions. The paper contains a large mass of valuable experimental results. The theoretical considerations are necessarily very speculative; but a working hypothesis of some kind is necessary, and the one adopted is worth examination and may contain the germ of a complete theory.
