A recording torsion pendulum has been designed which allows the measurement of storage modulus and loss modulus for weak gels. The gel is held in a cone–plate geometry. The 5° cone, along with the inertial elements of the pendulum, is supported by an air‐lubricated bearing. The decay of oscillations is sensed by a Proximeter which does not touch the moving apparatus and which converts the amplitude of oscillation into a de signal of several volts. Storage moduli as low as 40 dyn/cm 2 and log decrements as low as 0.0054 have been measured.
