b According to the physical scale of atomic weights, where the atomic weight of the oxygen isotope 8O16 is 160000.
c Translator’s note: This elementary quantum of electricity (elektrisches elementar Quantum) is more frequently called electronic charge in English-speaking countries. The former term is, however, used throughout the present book.

e This article is a slightly abridged translation of a paper which appeared in Die Naturwissenschaften and also in Nature, vol. 160, page 211, Aug. 16, 1947.
f FIAT Reviews of German Science, 1939–1946: a series of authoritative accounts of the progress made in both natural and applied science in Germany during the War. These reviews have been sponsored jointly by British, American and French FIAT (Field Intelligence Agency (Technical)), and a limited edition is expected to be ready for distribution before the end of 1947.
g Cf. Smyth Report, p. 27: Initial approaches to the Government. In actual fact, U.S. Government funds were first used at the turn of the year 1939–40 (p. 28), whereas the first discussions between men of science and the American navy took place as early as March 1939.
