Constants

Linus Pauling

I am revising my book THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND, and I am writing to ask you for advice about the values of the physical constants.

Has anything new and significant been done about the physical constants during the last couple of years? I have the compilation that you sent me a couple of years ago. Unless you advise otherwise, I plan to use the values of the physical constants that you give in this compilation.

Do not trouble to answer this note unless something has happened during the last couple of years - if I do not hear from you, I shall assume that your compilation of a couple of years ago is the one for me to use.
