Abstract
I NOTICE in an article in NATURE of April 14 on “The Internal Physics of Metals” considerable importance is given to the idea of the existence of an amorphous or vitreous layer between the crystals composing metals and alloys, and certain seasonal changes in them are attributed to the presence of this layer. The remark is made that until 1919 the phenomenon of “season cracking” was considered to be an isolated one, and recognised only in brass.
