About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of On the Elementary Electrical Charge, by Robert Millikan. Read by Eric Ray. The experiments herewith reported were undertaken with the view of introducing certain improvements into the oil-drop method of determining the elementary electrical charge, e, and the number of molecules per gram molecule, N, and thus obtaining a higher accuracy than had before been possible in the evaluation of these most fundamental constants. This is a recording of the original paper published in the Physical Review, Vol. II, No. 2.
