The “BJB” experiments showed that NaCl reflected nearly as a mosaic, or “ideally imperfect crystal” Phil. Mag. 41 (1921) 309; and 42 (1921) 1
... also measured the secondary extinction of total reflected intensity due to X-rays reflected by upper layers not reaching the lower layers ... WL Bragg: “The quantitative side of X-ray reflection was thoroughly thrashed out.”
