Abstract
PROF. W. CRAMP has suggested1 that the quantities Q, L and T have better claim to be regarded as fundamental than M, L and T. His argument is based on the assumption that Q shall be a function of M. Such an assumption would be a bombshell in modern physics. M, in common with L and T, is a quantity which varies, with the velocity of the observer; Q does not so vary.
