HILL, J. D.

Measurements were made on the rate of allotropic transformations in plutonium at temperatures ranging from 25 to 245 deg C. Rate of transformation was read from a record of dilatation against time, using a transducer system capable of high sensitivity over a wide range and of proved stability. Results are presented graphically. (C. H.)
