Professor Denys Richardson of Imperial College, in his 1964 Hatfield Memorial lecture "So far as the conception of the process is concerned, the important points are the way Gross saw significance in a chance piece of information which others consistently neglected, how he deduced the existence of AlCl from the most basic of chemical principles, and how he then applied this in an utterly different context."^[9] Espresso Addict (talk) 21:35, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
