due to domain wall motion or domain rotation. An explanation for the origin of these anomalies could be found in the r e d i s t r i b u tion of spins, as an effect of the periodic mechanical s t r e s s , along the simultaneous stable d i r e c t i o n s of spontaneous m a g n e t i s a tion inside the domain. This view is supported by a calculation of the corresponding t e m p e r a t u r e s of the peaks which a g r e e f a i r l y well with the e x p e r i m e n t a l t e m p e r a t u r e s .

GOLIS, M.J. A n analysis of the ultrasonic zune lens. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics, Vol SU-15, No 2 (April 1966) pp 105-110 In order to establish that the zone lens is superior to the conventional spherical lens in flowing-fluids processing, measurements of the following were used: 1 acoustic fields--by a 0.25cm pickup probe which was placed behind the lenses to receive the continuous waves (800kHz) which travelled from a 7.6cm radiator through 100cm of water to the lenses; 2 field patterns--by schlinren techniques; 3 focussing abilities-by generation of water spouts at a surface. Theoretical analysis indicated that, since the zone lens fell into the general class Imown as aplanatic surfaces, its method to compensate for the destructive interference introduced by thickness resonances could also be applied to spherical, aplanatic and waveguide lenses in order to improve their performance. Zone lenses are m o r e easily machined than continuously curved lenses. (2 References, 8 Figures) (ultrasonics 1969, abstract 875)

Foundry, Vol 96, No 3 (March 1968) pp 68-73 Previously, it had been shown that costs were reduced if large steel castings were subjected to non-destructive testing by radiography; this paper outlines how further reductions m a y be effected by the use of uRrasonics for routine inspection. Ultrasonic testing has already been used for heavy sections and it should be possible to extend this to thinner sections with parallel sides--if acceptance standards can be agreed.
