| Title | Referee's report by Charles Vernon Boys, on a paper 'Constants of explosion of cordite and of modified cordite' by Robert Robertson |
| Date | [March 1906] |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry
Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. As cordite is not an element or chemical compound, considers the paper to be of a chemical rather than scientific interest, otherwise the paper would be recommended for publication. Cordite 'can only be considered an arbitary mixture'.
