1. Responses from the primary endings of muscle spindles in the soleus muscle of the cat were recorded during repetitive fusimotor stimulation at a number of different muscle lengths.2. An increase in the rate of stimulation increased the size of both the peak and the plateau of the responses to stimulation of both static and dynamic fusimotor fibres.3. Responses, with the exception of the peak frequency of the discharge during dynamic fusimotor stimulation, increased in size on raising the muscle length up to maximum body length. The peak of the dynamic response reached its highest value at intermediate lengths.4. The effect of increasing stimulation rate and muscle length was to reduce both the latency and time to peak of fusimotor responses. The change in latency with muscle length was particularly dramatic at low stimulus rates.5. In an attempt to compare fusimotor responses with the behaviour of extrafusal muscle fibres, a model is proposed which consists of a mixture of extrafusal tension and rate of change of tension. This model could simulate the static fusimotor responses reported here.
