The author lays before the Society the results of experiments extending over a period of ten years on the effects of stress and strain on the magnetic permeabilities of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Two methods were employed. In one the metal to be tested—usually in the form of wire—was placed with its axis coincident with that of a magnetising solenoid, in most cases of considerable length as compared with the diameter of the wire; round the central portion of the solenoid was wrapped a secondary coil .
