A furnace has been developed for use in a program of high‐temperature measurement of physical properties. The heat is developed by induction in a molybdenum or tantalum tube located inside a helix of water‐cooled copper tubing. Power is supplied from a vacum‐tube high‐frequency generator. The entire furnace is enclosed in a brass shell and operated in vacuum.
