Abstract
SEVERAL authors1 have suggested that included gases have an appreciable effect in lowering the observed tensile strength of a liquid. For this reason it was decided to attempt to measure the tensile strength of a low-temperature liquid which, when cooled below its normal boiling point, would contain none of the normally included gases found in most liquids.
