Since thesecouples were placed under a thin shaving of the corkboard, which, thoughvery thin, probably varied considerable in thickness, this variation mightbe expected. Further, the variation between the center cou])le and theaverage is not sufficient to influence the conductivity constant by anamount greater than its homogeneity. It is, however, enougli to affectthe surface transmission constant by a considerable amount, for the New Thermal Testing Plate, F. C.

MAIN HEATING ELEMENT AND EDGE HEATER, SHOWING METHOD OFAPPLYING THE RESISTANCE RIBBON METHODS OF CALCULATION After a condition of equilibrium has been reached the heat passingthrough the specimen during any period of time is: dt (1) H — cA dS where, //=heat passing through the area A of the r= temperature gradient through the specimen. dSc = thermal conductivity of the material. 392 Transactions of Am. Soc. of Engineers If ti is the temperature of the hot side of the specimen, fj the tem-perature of the cold side and S the thickness of the specimen, the tem- dtperature gradient through the material, may be expressed by, dS ti — h .
