near the end of the series of radii investigated and hence it is impossible to see whether there actually is a maximum speed or not.

Lenard of Heidelberg has reached the same conclusion for water and his explanation "is that the friction of the air causes deformation of the drops, so that instead of retaining the shape of spheres they become flattened out, thus presenting an increased surface to the air through which they are falling. This deformation is slight for the smaller drops, but increases rapidly in the case of the larger drops. After a certain size of drop has been attained, any further increase in volume produces a greater flattening, and instead of the velocity being increased it is slightly decreased." G.F.S.
