12. We note that F. Behroozi and co-workers (unpublished) have recently shown that the detection scheme of Bohanon can be greatly improved upon by digitizing the entire time-dependent phase-modulated wave form and fitting it to the standard Bessel function expansion.
13. The magnet was part of a Weston recording galvanometer marketed in the 1950s. The modification of the instrument to function as a torsion pendulum is due to J. Condon and it is sometimes referred to as a Condon balance. (See J. Condon, thesis, Northwestern University, 1962.)

Confirming the temperature dependence of this model requires the availability of uninterrupted data over a sufficiently large range to determine the exponent associated with the relaxation behavior. However, in our case, the many phase transitions preclude a direct test of the model.
