Description: | [Letter] 1890 Jul 7, The University, Glasgow, to Dr (John Ambrose) Fleming / William Thomson, [later Lord Kelvin. He has 'looked into the matter of contact electricity and the multicellulars', giving details of readings. Major Cardew showed him his multicellular [voltmeter] and got different readings. Thomson is going to investigate this difference but thinks it may be due to 'the varnishing of the aluminium needle'. 4p ts. on 1 leaf, holograph signed] | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | Letter | Temporal: | 1890 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Kelvin, William Thomson, Baron, 1824-1907 | Identifier: | 2001-281 | Go to resource |
