The lifetimes of certain atomic resonance states have been measured using a magnetic rotation method devised by Weingeroff in 1931. This method possesses the advantage of not requiring an accurate knowledge of the vapour pressure data. The experimental results are compared with theoretical values obtained using the recent Bates-Damgaard Coulomb approximation, and with results based on Hartree and Slater type wave functions. Good agreement is found with the Bates-Damgaard results
