Summary. These experiments support Stephenson's predictions that partial anhysteretic remanent magnetizations produced in rotating samples deviate from the steady field direction, which is collinear with the rotation axis, by amounts depending on the angle, between the alternating magnetic field axis and the rotation axis. A similar effect was observed for partial rotational remanent magnetizations. Possible differences between the two remanence types were noted.
