Abstract
IN a recent paper in the Physical Review (December 1924), H. M. Terrill gives some measurements of the variation in the fraction of a beam of cathode rays transmitted by an aluminium foil when the velocity of the rays is varied. These results are not in agreement with those published by me (Proc. Roy. Soc. A, vol. 104, 1923); and the author states that “Whiddington, and later Schonland, worked with rays of uniform velocity produced by magnetic sorting, but the results obtained by them are not in agreement with each other nor with those of the earlier writers. It is believed that the lack of agreement in these results may be traced to the difficulties of velocity determination.”
