Nerve cross-union experiments were conducted using the cat''s hind limb in order to discover if motoneurones determine the speed of muscles or if the effective influence is in the reverse direction. It is concluded that the neural influence on muscle speed is not exerted by nerve impulses as such. It is postulated that a substance passes down the axons of slow motoneurones, crosses the neuromuscular junctions and trans-verses the muscle fibers, transforming them into slow contracting units and maintaining them so. Possibly there is also a substance from fast motoneurones that acts via a comparable pathway to accelerate muscle contraction.
