Gemmell writes: 'The experiments, of which the following is a description, with their results, were performed in the Physical Laboratory of the University of Glasgow, and had for their object the finding of the difference, between specimens of iron and of steel with respect to the intensities of their total and residual magnetisation due to different degrees of magnetising force.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes seven pages of diagrams of experimental apparatus and results.
Subject: Magnetisation / Metallurgy
Received 31 October 1885. Read 10 December 1885. Communicated by William Thomson.
A version of this paper was published in volume 39 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as '“On the magnetisation of steel, cast iron, and soft iron” (being the investigation for which the watt prize of 1884 was awarded by the Senate of the University of Glasgow)'.
