Abstract
WITH the opening of the Michaelmas term at Faraday House Electrical Engineering College, Faraday House Journal makes its reappearance and, in addition to the usual personal, social and collegiate items, the present number contains several short papers of note. The principal, Dr. A. Russell, writing under the title “Unfettered Mathematics in Engineering”, continues his articles on capacitance coefficients, and here shows that the capacitance of a system of two external spheres can be expressed in terms of certain spherical condensers, the values of which can readily- be found. In a paper “On a Natural System of Absolute Physical Measurement”, Sir Ambrose Fleming puts the case for, and gives data relative to, a system based on the rest mass of the nucleus of the hydrogen atom and the wave-lengths and periodic times of certain of its radiations. “Fluorescence under Ultra-Violet Light” by Dr. W. R. C. Coode-Adams and “Perspective” by the Rev. L. Van Vestraut complete this section of the contents and their titles sufficiently indicate the nature of these two papers.
