| Abstract: | It is widely held that Bohr has shown that the spin of a free electron is not measurable. We point out that Bohr's argument has some important ifs and buts. A concrete configuration is calculated to produce a clear spin separation. This is then shown not to contradict Bohr's reasoning. |
