Radiometers and Radiometers [PDF]
Nature, 1876 I HAVE recently been trying some experiments with a radiometer, obtained from Mr. Browning, and as some of my results are different from what I was led to anticipate, I should like to know whether there is anything special in my particular instrument, or whether other people have noticed the same things.
