D.141-D.158. "Prince Rupert's Drops", with L. Brodsley and J.W. Steeds. Bibliog. 144, 1986. -
Frank lectured on "Prince Rupert's Drops - a long chapter in the history of Materials Science" to Bristol University Convocation and Association of Alumni, 7 March 1978. He delivered this lecture a number of times thereafter, in India (H.130, H.132) and to visiting students from Indiana State University (D.143).
Frank's interest in this subject led to collaboration with a Bristol colleague, J.W. Steeds, and L. Brodsley, then Visiting Lecturer in the Department of English, University of California Los Angeles, who had written to the Royal Society 28 January 1983 offering an article on Prince Rupert's Drops for publication in Notes and Records, Sir William Paton, editor, suggested to Frank (who had also been planning an article for Notes and Records) that a joint paper might be in order.
