Result: 88 hits, 86 of them full view. The hits are mostly reference serials that index Stoney's 1903 critique [web: result list]: - Monthly Notices of the RAS, Index v.53-70 (1892-1910) (several copies); - International Catalogue of Scientific Literature, E Astronomy, 1903-04; - Fortschritte der Physik (1903; v.59 pt.2); - Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik v.34 (1903). This led to the zbMATH reviews (2026-10-07-zbmath.md); - Year-book of the Scientific and Learned Societies of Great Britain and Ireland, 1903 and 1904; - Journal v.30 (1919-20) (title not identified); - Poggendorff, Biographisch-literarisches Handwörterbuch v.5 (search-only).

Bearing: priority 4. The undulatory-gravity exchange was indexed across the abstracting services of 1903-04, so it was part of the published record. The Fortschritte der Physik 1903 abstract, a physics review that may comment, was not read. Next: open the Fortschritte der Physik v.59 pt.2 hit and the "Journal v.30 (1919-20)" hit, which is a later mention.
