Abstract
IT is generally recognised that the nodes of a string which is maintained permanently in oscillation in two or more loops cannot be points of absolute rest, as the energy requisite for the maintenance of the vibrations is transmitted through these points. I have not, however, seen anywhere a discussion or experimental demonstration of some peculiar properties of this small motion. A brief note may therefore be of interest.
