In this apparatus compensation is madefor yokes and joints which is indicated by zero potential betweenthe ends of the specimen. Goltze^^ published data giving the resultsof permeability tests on a number of specimens magnetized betweenthe poles of an electromagnet. He used an arrangement of theform described by Chattock and Rogowski and Steinhaus for thedetermination of magnetizing force.

Fig. 2.—Magnetic and electrical circuits in their simplest form The Fahy permeameter, which is the subject of the presentpaper, utilizes this latter principle. A short description of the ap-paratus has already been published. II. THEORY The basis of operation of this instrument is apparent from aconsideration of Fig. 2, which shows the circuits of the instrumentin their simplest form. The apparatus is H-shaped, with two testcoils. Ho and H^, spanning the free ends of the H and a magnet-izing coil, M, wound on the crosspiece of the H. By reason of the symmetry of the two parallel magnetic circuitsthus formed it is evident that the magnetizing coil produces the 1 Goltze, Archiv fiir Elektrotechnik, 2, p. 303; 1914. Kahy, El.
