  text: Transitional pipe flow is investigated in two different experimental set-ups.
    In the first the stability threshold and the initial growth of localized perturbations
    are studied. Good agreement is found with an earlier investigation of the transition
    threshold. The measurement technique applied in the last part of this study allows
    the reconstruction of the streamwise vorticity in a turbulent puff.
