Extract

On this very important subject I have not been able to discover much published work of a quantitative description. Professor Hartig, a writer in Dingler's Polytechnic Journal, 1879, appears to have made a special study on the strengths of threads, and was able to express the results of his investigation in the algebraic formula.
