  • Letter from LP to Walter Drost-Hansen, Research Engineer, RE: Responds to his letter from last April and disagrees with his suggestions on the change in the structure of water. Questions his proof for this for a few reasons, because his numbers were taken from Seidell and not the original papers and also because of his plotted point at the 45 degree point on his graph seems to not be plotted correctly. Recommends that he graph energy of vaporization of water against temperature and not the energy of vaporization against the specific volume.
