Abstract

IN order to remove the possibility of any misunderstanding that may arise from Mr. A. Campbell Swinton's letter in NATURE of June 26 (p. 425), may I state that the mechanical vacuum-tube regulator is not claimed by me as new in the paper referred to. If Mr. Campbell Swinton will read the actual paper he will find it clearly stated that the regulator was discovered by him.
