Cavendish Laboratory

<p style='text-align: justify;'>The final results of Maxwell's work on the viscosity of gases were published in Phil. Trans., 156 (1866): 249-68 where the method of calculating the logarithmic decrement of a torsion pendulum can be found. For more details see: P.M. Harman, 'The scientific letters and papers of James Clerk Maxwell', Vol.II, CUP 1995, pp. 216-217. This photograph of the manuscript was probably taken on the occasion of the Maxwell Centenary Celebration in 1931.</p>
