Abstract
THE letters of Sir Arthur Schuster and Col. E. H. Grove-Hills in NATURE of October 20 and November 24 under the above heading are interesting, as is also the article by Mr. W. D. Lambert in the American Journal of Science for September last, to which reference is made by the latter, but the extremely weak gravitational force dealt with cannot possibly have any appreciable effect on my apparatus, and is certainly quite inadequate to account for the results of experiments made with it. Indeed, I gather from some of Sir Arthur Schuster's remarks that he feels that this is the case. The force that I have found to exist is another altogether, as I am confident anyone who has watched the experiments under favourable conditions would admit.
