Abstract
TWO papers by Mr. F. R. Weston, recently published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society (A, vol. 109, 1925, pp. 176-186 and 523-526), embody the results of researches into the flame spectra of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, water gas, etc., which he has conducted at the Imperial College of Science and Technology under the joint supervision of Profs. W. A. Bone and A. Fowler. The object of the researches was to elucidate certain aspects of the combustion of carbon monoxide, and notably whether or not this gas interacts directly with oxygen in flames, a point which has been much disputed amongst chemists during the past forty years, but now seems to be in the way of being definitely cleared up by the spectroscope.
