APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION OF AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD COMPRISING: A PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCE HAVING A DETERMINABLE MAGNETIC RESONANCE ABSORBTION FREQUENCY AND MAGNITUDE CHARACTERISTIC; FIRST GENERATOR MEANS FOR IMPOSING ON SAID PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCE A HIGH FREQUENCY MAGNETIC FIELD, SECOND GENERATOR MEANS FOR IMPOSING ON SAID SUBSTANCE A LOW FREQUENCY MAGNETIC FIELD PARALLEL TO SAID HIGH FREQUENCY FIELD AND HAVING A FREQUENCY AND A MAGNITUDE LESS RESPECTIVELY THAN THE CHARACTERISTIC MAGNETIC RESONANCE ABSORPTION FREQUENCY AND MAGNITUDE OF SAID PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCE, AND THIRD GENERATOR MEANS FOR IMPOSING ON SAID SUBSTANCE A MAGNETIC FIELD OF CONSTANT MAGNITUDE LESS THAN THE MAGNETIC RESONANCE ABSORPTION MAGNITUDE OF SAID PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCE ROTATING WITH A CONSTANT ANGULAR VELOCITY LESS THAN THE ANGULAR VELOCITY CORRESPONDING TO THE MAGNETIC RESONANCE ABSORPTION FREQUENCY OF SAID PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCE IN A PLANE PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS OF SAID LOW FREQUENCY FIELD; AND MEANS FOR MEASURING ASYMMETRICAL VARIATIONS IN THE ABSORPTION OF SAID PARAMAGNETIC SUBSTANCE.
