| Title | Paper, 'Note on the instability of India-rubber tubes and balloons when distended by fluid pressure' by A [Arnulph] Mallock |
| Date | 1891 |
| Description | Mallock writes: 'When an India-rubber tube is expanded by internal fluid pressure, it preserves its cylindrical form until the increase in. its diameter bears a certain proportion to its diameter when unstrained; but, when more fluid is introduced, the condition of the tube becomes unstable, and the internal fluid pressure diminishes.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes two pages of diagrams of experimental apparatus and results.
