This latter method, which is very complex, involves the rotation by mechanical stress, of a light beam in a plane of polarization. The effect is similar to that of double refraction. Straining the medium between the polarizers, which in our case is a celluloid model of the machine we are working on, increases the transmission through the second polarizer and a color scale is produced similar to that produced by the passage of light through a prism...
