Three small iron-core electromagnets have been constructed for experinients in magnetic analysis of atomic and molecular beams. The magnets and their characteristics are described, and measurements of their efficiency by examination of the flux through the air gap and various cross sections of the magnet yoke as a function of the energizing current are made. One magnet displays a peak induction at the gap midpoint of 15 Kgauss with a transverse gradient of 90 Kgauss/cm. Corresponding values for the other two are 10 Kgauss and 30 Kgauss/cm. (D.C.W.)
