Should thermocouple wires be mounted in a holder of comparatively large diameter, large differences may be observed in the relation of A to M as a result of the inter- ference effects) such a configuration would require calibration. The effect of the interference of the support is illustrated by the data published in reference 8 for a particular design of bare-wire type thermocouple probe. These data are also indicated in figure 11(a) for comparison with the data on very long isolated wires.
