Abstract
THE experience of Dr. Chalmers1 with regard to the ‘cry’ emitted by cadmium and tin during plastic deformation agrees exactly with that of Mathewson and Phillips2 obtained in coarsely crystalline zinc. In 1927 they recognised and discussed a silent process of simple slip which was unproductive of twins, and, furthermore, a type of deformation which caused both a ‘crackle’ and multiple twinning.
