thomson built a cathode ray tube. it was connected to an electrometer, a device for catching and measuring electrical charge. thomson wanted to see if, by bending the rays with a magnet, he could separate the charge from the rays. as thomson saw it, the negative charge and the cathode rays must somehow be stuck together: you cannot separate the charge from the rays .
thomson’s proposed torus was never constructed, and the main development of controlled fusion devices in britain, leading in 1957 to the operation of the zeta torus, followed instead the ideas of thonemann. but thomson’s proposal and subsequent lobbying were instrumental in establishing the british fusion program as the first in the world, and many of thomson’s ideas were developed by smaller teams at imperial college and later at the aei laboratories at aldermaston court. thomson himself remained active in the field through the 1950’s, and maintained a strong interest thereafter .
thomson’s papers are archived at trinity college, cambridge, and have been catalogued by the contemporary scientific archives centre, catalog no. 75. the collection includes thomson’s unpublished autobiography, a substantial collection of correspondence, and many drafts of papers, some eventually published, others not .

j. j thomson proposed the plum - pudding model of the atom following his discovery of the electron. according to the plum - pudding model, the negatively charged electrons were dispersed randomly throughout a positively charged material, much like plums embedded in plum pudding .
in the 19th century the mass - to - charge ratios of some ions were measured by electrochemical methods. in 1897 the mass - to - charge ratio, [ m⁄e ], of the electron was first measured by j. j. thomson. by doing this he showed that the electron—postulated earlier to explain electricity—was in fact a particle with a mass and a charge; and that its mass - to - charge ratio was much smaller than that of the hydrogen ion h +. in 1898 wilhelm wien separated ions (canal rays) according to their mass - to - charge ratio with an ion optical device with superimposed electric and magnetic fields (wien filter). in 1901 walter kaufman measured the relativistic mass increase of fast electrons. in 1913, thomson measured the mass - to - charge ratio of ions with an instrument he called a parabola spectrograph. today, an instrument that measures the mass - to - charge ratio of charged particles is called a mass spectrometer .
the elite dropper will be offered in 30. 9mm and 31. 8mm sizes, and can be operated via a remote or seatpost - mounted lever. thomson’s cable - actuated remote is slim, unobtrusive and can be mounted on the right or left side of the handlebar .
thomson’s early scientific work fell into two classes. under his father’s supervision he worked at the cavendish laboratory and later at aberdeen on a range of gas discharge phenomena, in particular those involving positive rays. during and immediately after world war i, he devoted himself to aerodynamics .
thomson did not know, in 1926, of elsasser’s speculation. but he may have known through his father (who was however skeptical) of the davisson and kunsman results. and in september 1926, on his way back from a meeting of the british association for the advancement of science at oxford (at which davisson was also present, but at which they apparently did not meet), he discussed with dymond in cambridge the latter’s work on the energy distribution of electrons after collisions with helium molecules. in the course of this work, dymond, who had read elsasser’s paper, had observed some patterns that suggested to him a wavelike diffraction of the electrons by the helium. strangely enough elsasser’s speculation does not seem to have been discussed by dymond and g. p. thomson—at least thomson did not later recall it having been so .
like all thomson’s products, durability and tight tolerances were the primary criteria when the company began development of the post. internally, a long - wearing hexagonal norglide bushing keeps side - to - side motion to the absolute minimum. a charged nitrogen chamber is used to control movement .
thomson is still experimenting with pressures in order to fine - tune the post’s rate of return. the company realizes that if a component has moving parts, wear and tear will be inevitable. to that end, both the bushing and nitrogen chamber can be serviced by an authorized center .
meanwhile davisson, whose visit to england had introduced him to be broglie’s theory, and germer had pursued their own analysis, and in a paper published in april 1927 (before that by thomson and reid), they had interpreted their own results on the scattering of slow electrons by single crystals in terms of de broglie’s thoery. but the two investigations were essentially independent. credit for them should probably be shared not only between thomson and davisson (who shared the noble prize) but also between de broglie, elsasser, and dymond. davisson, it would seem had de broglie’s theory thrust upon him in england, and given elsasser’s speculation it required no great imagination to test the theory on his own, already existing experiments. thomson’s work was perhaps more original in this respect, but he too was essentially developing someone else’s suggestion, in his case dymond’s, which was itself influenced by elsasser’s speculation .
the royal society obituary cited above contains a select bibliography of thomson’s scientific articles and books, with many omissions and some misprints. his pricipal papers on electron diffraction are “diffraction of cathode rays by a thin film, ” in nature, 119 (1927), 890, written with a. reid; “the diffraction of cathode rays by thin films of platinum, ” in nature, 120 (1927), 802; and “experiments on the diffraction of cathode rays, ” in proceedings of the royal society (a). 117 (1928), 600–609. for thomson’s fusion device see british patent no. 13963 / 46 .
ramsauer’s results dated from the early 1920’s and were quite widely regarded as problematic, but with the quantum theory of the atom itself in a state of ferment, it had seemed difficult and premature to draw any conclusions form them. a few physicists had however linked these results with others obtained by davisson and his collaborators, lester h. germer and charles h. kunsman, at the laboratories of general electric in america. in work stemming originally from a patent suit, davisson and kunsman in 1923 had found distinctive patterns in the scattering of slow electrons by metallic surfaces, principally platinum. and in 1925 davisson and germer found a rather different but still more distinctive set of patterns for scattering from single crystals. meanwhile, in the spring of 1925, in the course of an investigation of de broglie’s theory in max born ’s physics seminar at göttingen, walter elsasser had suggested that the ramsauer and davisson and kunsman results might be interpreted as evidence of the wave nature of electrons, the scattering patterns corresponding to those to be expected from wave diffraction .
when asked why the company chose to feed the cable into the head rather than the collar – which would eliminate any change in cable length, regardless of what height the post is set at – thomson’s marketing manager david parrett noted that there are a number of benefits to routing the cable to the top of the seatpost .

in his later years thomson’s scientific activities were dominated by his popular articles and books, including the inspiration of science (1961) and the foreseeble future (1955). he was a prolific writer and speaker on such subjects as science and religion, the education of scientists, and the place of scientists in society, with all of which he was passionately concerned .
but in 1897, it was realized that cathode rays were in fact tiny charged particles, dubbed “corpuscles” by their discoverer, j. j. thomson of cambridge university, and now called electrons. by bending electrons in electric and magnetic fields, investigators could tell that they were negatively charged, and that the ratio of charge to mass, e / m, was the same for all electrons, and about 1700 times larger than that for the ionized hydrogen atom. thomson believed this was because the charge was the same, but the mass was some 1700 times smaller. measuring the charge on clouds of water droplets in a cloud chamber, he and his collaborators were able to determine that the charge on the electron, or at least the average charge on the electrons in a cloud, was roughly 10 - 19 coulombs (the coulomb is the unit of charge in the metric system). this was consistent with his hypothesis that the charge on the electron was the same as that found in hydrogen. in 1906, millikan began experiments at the university of chicago to attempt to measure individual electron charges, and with much greater accuracy than thomson and co - workers had been able to achieve. one of the great improvements was the use of oil drops instead of the cloud of water drops that thomson used. in millikan’s apparatus, the water drops would have quickly evaporated, whereas individual oil drops could be studied for a long time. millikan’s student harvey fletcher played an important role in implementing this improvement .
although he had from the first taken the initiative in respect to fission, thomson soon stepped down. he had been ill himself, and his wife was critically ill in america. in the autumn of 1941 he was appointed to ottawa as scientific liaison officer to explore the possibility of a team of british and french scientists transferring their nuclear reactor research from britain to canada, a move that duly took place. returning to england in 1942 after his wife’s death, thomson acted as deputy chairman of the radio board (supervising radar research) and scientific adviser to the air ministry. later, in 1946, he also acted as adviser to the british delegation to the united nations atomic energy commission. but by that time he had become interested in a new topic, the peaceful application of thermonuclear fusion .
as an experimental confirmation of the quantum theory, the demonstration of electron diffraction was of the utmost importance. but by the time it occurred, quantum theory itself, in the form of the new quantum mechanics, was already making rapid progress. thomson followed the more straightforward developments of the new theory, writing the textbook wave theory of the free electron (1930) and treating schrödinger’s wave mechanics in his popular book the atom, published in the same year. but there was no natural development of thomson’s work at the forefront of that research. instead he turned to the exploration of the potential of electron diffraction as an investigative tool. first at aberdeen and then at imperial college, he studied such phenomena as electron diffraction by single crystals, and used high - voltage diffraction techniques to study the microscopic structure of surfaces. a significant part of the work of the department of physics at imperial college was focused on the practical improvement of diffraction techniques, and although thomson himself contributed relatively little directly to the enormous strides made in this respect, mainly by his students, he did supervise and direct this work and he did prepare with w. cochrane the definitive account of the subject, theory and practice of electron diffraction, published in 1939 .
apart from two postwar papers on effects produced by cosmic ray collisions, thomson’s fission paper and another joint paper of the same year with a student, moses blackman, who was working on the theory of electron diffraction, were his last significant original scientific publications. but there was one major unpublished piece of work to come, and his contributions through science, which were just beginning, were in some ways as significant as his contributions to science .

while thomson maintained his interest in electron diffraction, he also devoted increasing attention to the dramatic developments of nuclear physics in the 1930’s. a significant aspect of the attraction that electron diffraction had held for him had been related to its significance in the context of the developing quantum theory, which aroused his theoretical as well as his experimental interest. with the discovery of the neutron and the positron, and the splitting of the atom, in 1932, followed by the discovery of artificial radioactivity two years later, the leading edge of physics moved from the mathematically obscure realm of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory to the equally taxing but more readily approachable area of nuclear physics, and thomson’s interest soon moved with it. with j. a. saxton he looked for artificial radioactivity from positron bombardment. and following enrico fermi ’s work on the effects of slow neutrons, he led a team of researchers, including p. b. moon and c. e. wynn - williams, in a study of the velocity distribution of slow neutrons. a deuteron beam was used to bombard a target of frozen heavy water, and the neutrons produced in the resulting deuteron - deuteron reactions were slowed down in paraffin. time - of - flight techniques were then used to measure the velocity distribution and absorption coefficients of the neutrons. then in 1939, following the discovery of uranium fission, thomson led another team in a measurement of the neutron yield from fission reactions .
but the idea of a wave theory of the electron based on de broglie’s theory was discussed, and thomson, already deeply interested in de broglie’s work himself, saw how his work with positive rays might be adapted to test the idea. reasoning that the effect should be easier to analyze with a solid than with a gaseous target, and that some of the positive ray apparatus at aberdeen could be readily adapted for such an experiment, he asked alexander reid to look at the scattering of electrons through thin celluloid films (3. 10 −6 cms) onto photographic plates. the result was clear pictures of “halos” much as one would expect from a diffraction effect, and in a joint paper with reid, published in may 1927, thomson wrote of celluloid as a “diffracting system” and of the electrons as having “wavelengths” given by de broglie’s theory. since the structure of celluloid was unknown, the experiment was not conclusive. so thomson next turned to metallic films of the same thickness, for which the crystal structure was known, and repeated the experiment for scattering from aluminum, gold, and platinum. he found that the dimensions of the observed diffraction patterns agreed in all cases, to within 5 percent, with those predicted by de broglie’s wave theory of matter. these results were published in brief in december 1927 and in detail two months later. suggestions that the phenomenon might be owing to classical x - ray effects were refuted in a subsequent paper .
max planck was born on april 23, 1858 in kiel, germany. he studied at the universities of munich and berlin, and received his doctorate in philosophy at munich in 1879. he started his work on thermodynamics which he published papers on. around 1894, he had an interest on the problems of radiation processes. he was led to the problem of the distribution of the energy in the spectrum of full radiation. he observed wavelength distribution and the energy emitted by a black body to deduce the relationship between the energy and the frequency of radiation. in 1990 he announced that the energy emitted by a resonator could only take on discrete values or quanta. the energy for a resonator of frequency v is hv where h is a universal constant, now called planck' s constant. his original constant number was quoted as (
robert millikan' s major discovery was the charge of the electron (see above), but he' s discovered several other useful findings towards science and chemistry. he proved that the charge for electrons were constant for all in 1910, shortly after executing the
falling - drop method
. in 1912 - 1915 millikan tested einstein' s photoelectric equation. he then went on to be the first to make a photoelectric determination of plank' s constant (h). also in 1920 - 1923 robert millikan' s work with hot - spark spectroscopsy of the elements led to an expansion of the ultraviolet spectrum. the new limit extended much farther down than the current known limit. millikan made several discoveries useful to society. lastly, his findings on the brownian movement in gases was a major change to society, since it ended opposition to the atomic and kinetic theories of matter .
george paget thomson, widely known as “g. p. ” was born and bred a cambridge physicist. his father was the famous physicist sir j. j. thomson (“j. j. ” ,) cavendish professor of physics from 1884 to 1919 and subsequently master of trinity college. his mother was rose paget, daughter the of cambridge regius professor of physic sir george paget, and herself a physics student of j. j. ’s at the cavendish laboratory. g. p. grew up effectively an only child (his sister joan was not born until he was eleven years old) in the privileged environment of the cambridge elite. he attended king’s college choir school and the perse school, where he worn a scholarship to trinity college. at trinity he gained a double first in mathematics and physics, and after a year’s postgraduate work at the cavendish laboratory, he was elected a fellow and mathematical lecturer at corpus christi college in 1914. during the war, from 1914 to 1918, he served first with the queen’s regiment in france and then, from 1915, with the royal flying corps at the royal aircraft factory at farnborough .
neil bohr first started experiments under j. j. thomson and he later went to study under ernest rutherford. after studying and experimenting with rutherford, neil bohr published his model of atomic structure in 1913 which introduced the theory of electrons traveling in orbits around the atom' s nucleus and the chemical properties of the element being largely determined by the number of electrons in the outer orbits. neil bohr also introduced the idea that an electron could drop from a higher - energy orbit down to a lower energy - orbit, emitting a photon of discrete energy. this idea became the basis of the quantum theory .

thomson’s work on aerodynamics did not incorporate any great breakthroughs but was of considerable practical value. combining the skills of mathematician, engineer, and pilot, he concentrated on the application of aerodynamic theory to practical problems of flight, achieving a degree of coherence and completeness that the subject had not previously had. after the war, encouraged by henry tizard, he wrote up his own and other people’s work in the form of a comprehensive textbook, applied aerodynamics. having outlined the basic physical theory and experimental methods, he applied these to the aerodynamic performance of each part of an airplane’s structure, and then to the airplane as a whole. in the second part of the book, he gave a thorough mathematical analysis of aircraft stability .
just checked the arkefly website, they have 2 different longhaul config' s, one for b763 (so their legacy aircraft) and one for b763winglet (so yi) star class has more legroom than their new premium class, thus i think its safe to say they' ve not touched the config since it left tom as you say thomsonfly offered

that g. p. thomson should have demonstrated the wave nature of the electron was perhaps ironic, in view of the fact that it had been his father who had first demonstrated its particulate nature. but it was also fitting, in that the son’s interests had followed closely those of the father. in the 1920’s they were separated by hundreds of miles, but the two components of g. p. ’s electron diffraction work, quantum theory and gas discharge phenomena, were precisely the subjects in which j. j. himself was most interested. and while the electron diffraction work was going on, the two thomsons were in fact collaborating on a new edition of j. j. ’s classic work conduction of electricity through gases, published in 1928 under both their names .
thomson was elected a fellow of the royal society in 1930, and served as a vice president in 1950 and 1951. he received the hughes (1939) and royal (1949) medals of the society, together with the faraday medal of the institution of electrical engineers (1960) and a number of other honors and awards. he shared the 1937 noble prize in physics with c. j. davisson and was knighted in 1943. from the beginning of world war ii onward he served on a range of government committees. among many other activities he was president of the society for freedom in science, and a vice president of the atomic scientists association. outside science and public service his main interest was in the voluntary euthanasia society, of which he was a vice president .
after a brief spell in the aircraft manufacturing company, thomson returned to cambridge and to corpus christi in 1919. in 1922 he was appointed professor of natural philosophy at aberdeen university, and while there he married kathleen smith, the daughter of the principal of the university. they had four children, the youngest of whom was only two when, in 1941, after a severe illness, kathleen died. g. p. did not remarry. meanwhile, in 1931, he had been appointed professor of physics at imperial college, london, and he remained there apart form wartime assignments until 1952. he then returned to cambridge as master of corpus christi college, retiring from this position in 1962. apart from a period of illness in the late 1930’s, he enjoyed generally good health and remained active into his eighties .
by 1926 thomson had accumulated a good body of research, but with nothing spectacular to show for it. in the course of that year, however, his experimental work on positive rays and his theoretical work on the quantum theory began to come together. on the theoretical side he was greatly impressed by the work of de broglie, and in the summer of 1926 he used de broglie’s theory to compare the broadening of spectral lines owing to pressure on the classical and quantum theories. (he had not yet encountered erwin schrödinger’s wave mechanics, though he did so shortly afterward, and had either not encountered or not taken up the matrix mechanics of werner heisenberg and others .) meanwhile, pursuit of the discrepancy between observation and theory in the scattering of slow positive rays led him to compare the observed phenomena with those noted earlier by carl wilhelm ramsauer, in which slow electrons appeared to pass unhindered straight through an atomic nucleus .
