Abstract
IN previous communications, it has been shown how the frequency of longitudinal vibration of a steel wire may be measured1 and also how the speed of travel of a surge of stress in a steel wire may be measured directly2. From each of these methods the value of Young's modulus may be found, and the values so obtained are in close agreement with each other and with the value obtained by the static method.
