Talk:Du Noüy ring method

Wikispaghetti (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2011 (UTC) The French Wiki says that Du Nouÿ is the correct spelling, saying it's often misspellt (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Lecomte_du_Nouÿ#cite_note-0).

This is independent of the wire diameter. The correction factor f is still needed, of course.
