Abstract
REFERRING to the preliminary memorandum printed in your issue of August 4th, page 334, I wish to correct a slip in the statement about the fall between two surfaces joined by a “weber.” I ought to have added, “if their area is one square centimetre.” Enlargement of the area to a metre would diminish the pull to 40 tons. Also I may observe that at the meeting I did not press all the proposed resolutions, but withdrew Nos. 4, 5, 6, and 8.
