The t h e o r y does r e p r e s e n t the t r e n d of the data for copper and n i c k e l well in the o t h e r c o r n e r s of the s t e r e o g r a p h i c t r i a n g l e , although a d e t a i l e d n u m e r i c a l c o m p a r i s o n r e q u i r e s the t r a n s f o r m a t i o n of the data a s i n d i c a t e d above. It might be p o s s i b l e to make adj u s t m e n t s in the theory to take a c c o u n t of a n o t h e r a s pect of the change of o r i e n t a t i o n d u r i n g glide.
