Graham's and Charles's laws[edit]
This page stated that Amontons discovered Graham's law. That would place him as the earliest formulator of the kinetic theory, decades before Daniel Bernoulli who is credited most everywhere. I can find no mention of Amontons having made any such discovery but he is credited with discovering Charles's law[1]. I have made the correction.
References[edit]

excessive and confusing detail on laws of friction[edit]
The article on Friction has all the same info on these laws. I propose these details be removed. If anyone has info on Amontons's experimental or theoretical process for discovering them, or on their publication, reception, etc., I would think those more appropriate for a biography.Dfeuer (talk) 17:27, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
