Ah another illusion shattered. I had it that Einstein actually
participated in an experimental verification.
The detail of the clean copper sheet was vivid.
Was it Lenard who also used copper, after all?

Can't recall. [Brian]
Your style is a little telegraphic at this point, Jack.Pure obfuscation. This responds to the "Clerk illuminated..." The clerkthe effect in 1887. [Jack]1887. This was when Hertz reported that UV emission from

Who is being obfuscating? Hertz, me, you?
I THINK you may be saying that Einstein did not in fact observe an
illuminated copper plate. Is that it?
Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
