Extract

The collected comments of Messrs. Greenwood (December 1953 and October 1954 JOURNAL), Thorne (February and October 1954 JOURNAL), and Asquith and Whitaker (May and October 1954 JOURNAL) on the definition of specific impulse in the field of rocket propulsion argue certain traditional points of view, each of which has enough merit to gain proponents but apparently not enough merit to gain universal acceptance.
