The greatest energy was developed by the second impulse when it fell in the first ^ of the primary curve of contraction. The curve does not then proceed as if the state of contraction of the muscle at this moment were its point of rest, the second twitch only being excited, but the impulse of the first twitch is still effective. In the second and third -jt- the second
