A simple method is described for constructing coils which will give a magnetic field that is nearly uniform in magnitude and direction throughout a long cylindrical volume. A study is made of three types of coils and in each case formulas permitting the computation of the field are developed. Data are given showing the departure of the field from uniformity in specific cases and a procedure is outlined for the design of such coils.
