Dear All Just a quick reminder that the final talk in the Royal Society Library's autumn events programme <http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/page.asp?id=6945> takes place this Friday, 16 November, at 1pm: 'Lord Cable': telegraphy, empire, and the making of Lord Kelvin PRS Sir William Thomson, known to later generations as Lord Kelvin, was the quintessential Victorian physicist. He was also a leading figure in the development of the submarine cable network that linked the far-flung British Empire. This talk will examine how closely telegraphy and physics were intertwined in Kelvin's career. Professor Bruce J Hunt, Department of History, University of Texas All are welcome!
