Abstract
The Maxwell top herein described is suitable for use in a student laboratory. With it, measurements may be made on angular acceleration and precessional motion. Over a wide range of angular speeds, friction is too small to affect the measurements. The precision attainable is limited primarily by the patience and skill of the experimenter.
