ATWATER'S remarks1,2 on the relativistic rotating disk problem (Ehrenfest's paradox3) have elicited considerable response4-6 of a somewhat peripheral nature. Atwater concludes that recourse to experiment is highly desirable. Arzelies7, while questioning the existence of relativistic constraints, also agrees with this view. The purpose of this communication is to point out what one might expect to observe as a disk rotates and to develop the magnitude in a practical case.
