Abstract

Preferred orientation in polymers has been studied by preparation of pole figures. The diffraction data are collected on punch tape under the control of a programmer for the orienter which permits step wise or continuous scanning. A computer is programmed to prepare the data for an off-line automatic curve plotter. Several projections are available.
