Abstract
It is shown that the Maxwell Heaviside equations can be written simply in t erms of a field four vector G(mu) = (0, cB + iE), where B is magnetic flux density and E is electric field strength. The method given is much simpler that than used by Barut [1] in expressing the Maxwell Heaviside equations a s neutrino equations. Under Lorentz transformation G(mu) transforms as a fo ur vector, leading to novel interpretation. The field four vector G(mu) lea ds directly to cyclical relations between magnetic fields in the vacuum.
