Abstract
It is found that certain rigid charge distributions can oscillate without radiation even when no forces are present, other than their own retarded fields. The periods are of the order of the time required for light to cross the particle. The energy of these oscillations is always positive, and there are therefore no exponentially increasing unstable motions of the type possessed by the Dirac classical electron.Keywords
