Cable properties of external intercostal muscle fibres from myotonic and nonmyotonic goats

1. In preparations of about 200 fibres each from thirty‐nine biopsies of external intercostal muscle taken from nine myotonic and six nonmyotonic goats, cable properties were determined at 38° C for individual fibres with a pair of intracellular micro‐electrodes.
