Abstract
In this lecture I shall discuss measurements of the dipole moments of free electrons and muons, and the lifetime of free muons. I shall discuss these experiments in terms of physical principle rather than technical details; full accounts of the experimental methods may be found in the original papers to which reference is made in some of the review articles given below1).
