Abstract
A WORD of caution may not be amiss in respect of the suggestion made by Sir Oliver Lodge in NATURE of October 28, p. 280. The rotational stresses in the disc, though very large, may not portend immediate dissolution in steel, but what of the glass (?) of the vacuum tubes? The stresses, like the gravitational effect, increase as the square of the angular velocity. The method would seem well calculated to develop pleochroic effects in glass.
