Abstract
THE increasing use of piezo-eleotric quartz for the stabilisation of radio frequencies has promoted many investigations of the vibration of the quartz. In the last few years a mass of information has been accumulated disclosing the complexities of vibratory modes and types which may exist simultaneously in one and the same crystal plate or rod. Along with the longitudinal, flectural and torsional oscillations may exist, as well as overtones of any or of all. In this connexion mention may be made of the experiments of Cady, Tawil, Dawson, Harrison, Hund, Giebe and Schiebe, Meisener, Ny Tzi Ze, Crossley, Dye, and others.
