In answer to a request for information from Mr. C. L. 

 Barnes regarding the form of top referred to in Garnett's 

 Life of Clerk Maxwell, under the name of " The Devil on 

 Two Sticks," Professor Reynolds said he had used the top 

 to illustrate gyrostatic stability, and that practice was 

 necessary to acquire skill in its use.

 Saturated Steam and the Condition of Steam Gas." 



The paper is printed in full in the Memoirs.
