A definition and a method of measuring true gage length is presented. An increase of true gage over nominal gage length is shown. Greater differentiability of true gage length is indicated for locations than varieties at the same locations.
Tenacity and elongation values with and without adjustment for true gage length are compared. Adjusted values indicate underestimates of tenacity and overestimates of elongation at nominal gage length. Tenacity values appear to decrease while elonga tion appears to increase with decreasing night temperatures.
