As was pointed out in Chap. IV, the essential starting problem of the Sherwood program is the question of what to do with the ends of the magnetic field lines. The Princeton approach is to wrap the field into a figure-eight geometry. An alternative solution was proposed by R. F. Post late in 1951. His suggestion was to maintain the linear uniform field produced by a solenoidal winding, but to cap off the ends by use of the magnetic mirror principle. A major part of the Sherwood research at Livermore is devoted to an investigation of the feasibility of this method.
