Regular oscillations are detected under a limited range of conditions in a 12 in. bore torus. The electric and magnetic flelds associated with these oscillations are investigated and indicate a helical notch of reduced density travelling on the pinched current channel with a uniform velocity. A possible explanation of the phenomenon is given. The oscillation is considered to grow in a manner similar to that of a sound wave in a partially-ionized medium. The mode is cited as an example of a pinched discharge with poor confinement. (auth)
