An investigation was made to determine the stress field in the salt dome and the stress concentrations on the surface of the small (12-ft diameter) sphere. For the most part, the apparatus and techniques used in the investigation are new and have not been described in other reports. Therefore the theory, concepts, apparatus, and some of the lists made to determine the reproducibility of the apparatus are described briefly. (W.L.H.
