  <dc:title>Cavendish Magnetic Laboratory Report for the Year 1929-30</dc:title>
  <dc:description>States ' The main line of research has been directed to the study of magnetic susceptibility and magnetostricition in different substances in strong magnetic fields.  A special balance has been constructed by means of which the magnetisation could be measured in magnetic fields existing for 1/100 of a second and reaching the value of 300,000 gauss. A number of substances have been investigated at ordinary temperatures and the Langevin Law of magnetisation was verified over a range of magnetic fields up to 300,000 gauss at ordinary temperatures; the work is now going to be extended to lower temperatues. '

Refers to work by Dr Webster who ' studied magnetic and calorific phenomena during the process of growing bismuth crystals with a view to finding out the conditions governing he growth of the perfect crystal 'and Dr Sinelnikoff who has ' worked on the change of resistance of single crystals of cadmium, tin and zinc, and has verified certain theoretical laws which were estqblished in this laboratory for strong magnetic fields.'

' Designs for a  liquid helium plant had already been started.'</dc:description>
