Note on the preceding paper

Abstract
We are grateful to Professor Hoyle for drawing attention to the incorrect sign that we arrived at for the factor λ in our paper (1959), but the changes consequent upon setting this right appear to be quite minor, and if anything lead to more acceptable though not very different, values from those we obtained for the various quantities involved. If the modified Maxwell equations are written now F v μ:v = 4 πJ μ - λK μ , when equations (52) on p. 324 of our paper (1959) should be replaced by E 00 = λ /8 π K 2 0 , E 11 = E 22 = E 33 = λ /8 π e 2 t/T K 2 0 . In mixed form, these are equivalent to E 0 0 = λ /8 π K 0 2 , E 1 1 = E 2 2 = E 3 3 = λ /8 π K 0 2 .
