| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the direct production of heat by magnetism' by W R [William Robert] Grove |
| Date | 23 May 1849 |
| Description | Grove writes that soft iron, when magnetised, emits a sound or musical note. He also mentions an experiment of his own, published in January 1845, where a tube was filled with the liquid in which magnetic oxide had been prepared, and surrounded by a coil; this showed, to a spectator looking through it, a considerable increase of the transmitted light when the coil was electrised.
