The Cadek Conservatory of Music, located in Chattanooga, Tenn., was founded in 1904 by Joseph Ottokar Cadek, a musician and music teacher. In 1945, Harold J. Cadek was appointed director of the conservatory.

A new constant tensile stress creep testing machine is described.The machine makes it possible to keep the stress constant within 0.1% up to a strain 0.45, assuming the volume of the specimen does not change during the test.The cam profile has been solved for specimen gage lengths of 50.0, 35.0, and 25.0 mm.The static counterbalance of the loading system ensures its high sensitivity, which, together with the minimizing of frictional forces, offers the possibility for the tensile stress to be accurately defined.Erratum to this paper appears in 4(4).

A simple mechanical system for keeping constant applied stress during the course of a creep test is proposed. The system uses the forced movement of load and is especially suitable for compressive creep testing. Verification in practical implementation has shown that the tolerance in the stress constancy is better than ±1.5% up to a strain of 30%.
