Abstract
IN the article on radio-frequency measurements in Glazebrook's “Dictionary of Applied Physics” (vol. 2, p. 635), Dye states that “quite powerful longitudinal vibrations in steel bars can be produced by acting on them with currents of the resonating frequency.” From conversation with Dr. Dye, I gather that this refers to some otherwise unpublished work in which the oscillations are maintained by electric, that is, electrostatic, forces derived from an oscillating valve set and a polarising battery.
