The class instructor wrote o my report to my parents words to the effect '.........a/t Laidler produced the only 91 degree square in the tutor group. He shoud mot be too down-hearted because when or if 91 degrees becomes the engineering norm, he will be ahead of the game.....'
Mmm that quote explains a lot..
