The design is given oi chromel-alumel thermocouples which are sheathed in stainless steel and housed in a concentric radiation shield which in turn is housed in a recess on the side of the channel. An angle of 15 deg to the channel axis was found to ensure entry of the gas stream into the pocket and a 20 deg angle would be suitable to return the flow to the channel. The designs obtained from air-rig and water model tests are discussed. (C.J.G.)
