Abstract
Some errors due to conduction through residual gases in low temperature measurements of thermal properties are considered, with special reference to the `transition region' between free-molecular and normal conduction processes. Under certain free-molecular conditions errors are shown to amount to several per cent of heat input, and somewhat larger figures are suggested for the transition region.Keywords
