Abstract
IN a paper published last year1, we showed with poly crystalline lead, subjected to a constant simple shear stress, that the t 1/3 law of creep held very closely within a certain range of strain, the average error being about 0.25 per cent of the range in question. We recorded, however, that for low strains, below about 0.03 with a particular lead, the law was not obeyed, the strain varying more rapidly than was indicated by the law. At high strains, too, the law fails owing to recrystallization, but to comment on that is not the object of the present communication.
