Summary

Special forms of the receptance functions of mechanical systems are shown to indicate the existence of nodes. these are associated with horizontal straight lines in receptance diagrams. the effects of this nodal condition are explained in terms of simple torsional and translational systems for the sake of simplicity; but the theory may be extended to any type of system and any set of generalised co-ordinates. a particular instance arises if principal co-ordinates are used. the paper is a sequel to an earlier paper.
