Abstract
About two years ago the writer had occasion to note some rather large differences in ultimate strength in tests of full-sized steel eye-bars, as compared with the small specimen tests of the same material. Full sized bars of moderate sections showed losses in ultimate strength of from 5000 to 10000 pounds per square inch, and quite notable decreases in elastic limit also. After investigating these results carefully until satisfied of the facts, the comparison was extended to quite a series of other tests, and the conclusion was reached that these losses were the rule and not the exception, and that they were frequently large.
