A, that the torsion varies directly Fig. as the rate. So exactly is this the case that we may in futurewith perfect confidence reduce from one rate to another or toany arbitrary common rate when the rate varies between ex-periments, to test the effect of variation of other kinds. Andwe have, if the magnets and torsion keep constant, a veryexact and not inconvenient instrument for measuring the rateof rotation of machinery. II. The Relation between Distance and Deflexion.—Two seriesof experiments were made to determine this need only reproduce here the longest and most apparatus used was that shown in tig. 1, Plate XIII., whichis drawn to a scale one third true size. The copper disk, c, was replaced by one of ebonite, to thelower surface of which the metal plate could be attached bya drop of weak gum. The copper disk used was only 027millim. thick ; so that all its parts might be considered at thesame distance fro
