Abstract
RECURRING to Hertz's equations for the field of the rectilinear vibrator, it appears to me that, while his conclusions are sound as regards the forces at points very distant from the vibrator, they require modification for the rest of the field. In fact, the principles upon which the question is investigated require that the electromotive force in the direction of z should become evanescent close to the vibrator (the axis of z).
