Abstract
MUCH consideration has been devoted to the statistical distribution of grain size in a well annealed metal, as examples of which the work of Smith and of Beck1 may be cited who, however, did not give a formula to represent the distribution curve. Recently, Papadakis2 has published a paper concerning the relation between the volume distribution of grain size and the distribution as revealed by surface examination, but the measurements considered do not suffice to provide the basis for a precise, experimentally confirmed law.
