Abstract
The thickness of moving liquid helium II films has been measured using the polarized light method developed by Burge and Jackson. The moving film was that on the outside of a cylindrical stainless steel beaker emptying by creep at the rate corresponding to the temperature for the two cases 1.68° K and 1.83° K. Measured at a height of 1 cm above the outer level of the liquid the thicknesses were 5.6% and 4.5% less than those of the stationary film at 1.68° K and 1.83° K respectively. The observations are compared with the theoretical expressions for the difference in thickness of stationary and moving films derived by Kontorovich and by Franchetti.Keywords
