Abstract :
SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT of the magnetic fluid by J. Rabinow1 in 1948, several manufacturers have been producing magnetic fluid clutches for use primarily in servomechanisms. Though some manufacturers also have produced designs for breaking service, the author knows of no instance where the magnetic fluid has been used for absorption-dynamometer applications. The smoothness of control and the possibility of simple water cooling make this use very attractive.
