ON THE MEASUEEMENT OF MAGNETIC HYSTEKESIS. 79 The magnetic force was put through about 20 cycles of reversal before the tests forBq and W were made. The results are given in the following table, and the curverepresenting them is shown in fig. 10 ; the curves (1) to (5) are considered in § 65. 20000 18000- teooo 14000 12000 !0000 6000 4000 2000.

The wire was found capable of sustaining 300 grammes hung from the edgeof the wheel without acquiring permanent set. We therefore decided to subject it to 80 MESSRS. G. F. 0. SEAELE AND T. G. BEDFORD cycles of torsion in which the load varied within the hinits i 300 grammes. Thechanges in the load were made by steps of 50 grammes. Before the cycle of loading and unloading, during which the magnetic observa-tions were made, the wire was subjected to several cycles of positive and negativetorsion, the load having the limits i 300 grammes. In every case, before theobservations for Bq and W were made for any particular value of the torsion, themag
