Abstract
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT when a column tested between knife edges is supported on carriers between the knife edges and the ends of the column, the length of the column is taken as the distance between knife edges. When this is done, only a small error is introduced if the column specimen is long relative to the distance between knife edges, b u t the error may amount to several per cent for short columns. There are two practical ways of avoiding this error in tests made under eccentrically applied loads when it is desired to obtain column curves corresponding to a series of cons tan t eccentricities.
