SUMMARY Accurately sized copper spheres were dispersed in a ‘putty‐like’ Araldite in an attempt to achieve a random spatial distribution. Random sections were then cut through the hardened Araldite and the exposed copper circles were measured by two types of instruments; one measured the diameter of the copper circles whilst the other measured random chords across the circles. The experimental results are compared with the results of a computer simulation of the sectioning of randomly positioned spheres.
