Lydall; Francis (1872-1950); British engineer
Date1893
DescriptionThe authors write: 'The following experiments were carried out in the Siemens Laboratory, King’s College, London, and are a continuation of experiments by J Hopkinson and B Hopkinson, a description of which appeared in the ‘Electrician,’ September 9, 1892. In that paper determinations were given of curves showing the relation between the induction and the magnetising force, for rings of fine wire of soft iron and steel, through complete cycles with varying amplitudes of magnetising force, both with the ordinary ballistic method and with alternating currents of a frequency up to 125 complete periods per second.'

Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes 12 pages of diagrams of experimental apparatus and results.
