| Title | Paper, On the changes produced by magnetisation in the length of iron and other wires carrying currents' by Shelford Bidwell |
| Date | 1892 |
| Description | Bidwell writes: 'The changes of length attending the magnetisation of rods or wires of iron and other magnetic metals which were first noticed by Joule in 1841, and have in recent years formed the subject of many experiments by myself, have been found to be related to several other phenomena of magnetism. Maxwell has suggested that they sufficiently account for the twist which is produced in an iron wire when magnetised circularly and longitudinally at the same time.'
