TitleManuscript, 'On time lag in the magnetisation of iron' by J A [James Alfred] Ewing
Date1889
DescriptionEwing writes: 'When any change is made to take place in the magnetic force acting on a piece of soft (annealed) iron, a considerable time elapses before the resulting change in the magnetism of the piece is complete. The sluggishness which soft iron exhibits in assuming its full magnetism when a magnetic force is imposed upon it was referred to as follows in the account which I wrote, some years ago, of experiments on the magnetic qualities of iron:— “Some evidence was given that, in addition to much static hysteresis, there is a small amount of viscous lagging in the changes of magnetism which follow changes of magnetising force.'

Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Includes seven pages of graphs of experimental results.
