The primary object of the present work was to continue the experiments on beats of solution started by Moore (1955) in the Department of Geological Sciences, McGill University. In his work, Moore accumulated a fund of technical knowledge concerned with twin calorimeter construction and technique. He constructed twin calorimeters to determine the beats of solution of finely ground quartz crystal and quartz glass. He attempted to measure the surface and strain energy of these minerals but failed because he employed a quenching technique with the coarser fractions in order to reduce the length of the solution period.
