Abstract
The apparatus which I used in a few experiments on silver wires was as follows:—To a beam, supported in stonework, a plate of copper was fastened, upon which a smaller plate could be tightly screwed. Between the two plates a very thick copper wire was secured, vertically. Its lower end was provided with a small plate of copper, fastened by screws. This plate served to make fast one end of the silver wire under investigation. The other end was joined in the same way to a second thick copper wire; this was provided with a horizontal round brass plate, through the centre of which it passed, and which acted as weight-carrier.
