Abstract

No Abstract Available.

Paper presented April 4, 1951, before the Charles H. Tweed Foundation for Orthodontic Research, Tucson, Arizona.

* One important and obvious difference between steel and rubber is the amount of elastic deformation possible in the two materials. Under the same conditions, the extension of steel will be only about 1/100,000 that of rubber.
