The report describes the design, installation, calibration and test of one of the high temperature crystal growing furnace systems of the Solid State Sciences Laboratory of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. A number of the modifications and innovations that make this system unique are described. Pictures and diagrams of the furnace and associated apparatus and component specifications are sufficiently complete to provide substantial aid in the operation or duplication of this facility. The furnace has been operated above 2800C for short periods of time (hours) and above 2000C for extended periods (days). It has been in operation for over a year and more than 50 separate experiments have been conducted. (Author).

Experimental evidence regarding pressure gradients in Bridgman anvil devices is reviewed and some new experimental data are presented. Although there are many differences in details, all the experimental evidence is found to fit a general pattern. A simple empirical relationship describing the pressure distribution is derived which is consistent with experimental observation. The experimentally determined pressure is used to estimate errors introduced into various types of anvil experiments by pressure gradients. Numerical values for the correction factors are given in graphical form for a wide range of experimental conditions. Analysis of shear experiments indicates that pressure gradients are much smaller under dynamic conditions. Analysis also shows that the peripheral sample region which is partially nonload-supporting frequently has a greater detrimental effect on anvil experiments than does the pressure gradient which exists over the central portion of the sample cell.
