Summary:After a short account of the researches of Sir William Thomson and Professor G. Wiedemann, on the loss of energy of a wire when vibrating torsionally, the author proceeds to describe his own experi­ments on the same subject. The wire under examination was clamped at one end into a stout brass block, which was secured to the extremity of a strong iron bracket projecting from a wall.
