Extract

Having agreed with Dr. Shercliff that I would discuss dissociation and its applications, after which he would speak about ionisation and its applications, it seemed appropriate that I should repeat the lecture I gave to the International Congress of the Aeronautical Sciences on “Dynamics of a Dissociating Gas”—although with apologies to those few in the audience who may have come back from Madrid with memories of anything except Flamenco and Paella and Goya and Sangria.
