Laboratory measurements of B(x,t) in a volume enclosing portions of two arched flux ropes show flux rope collimation driven by gradients in axial current density. These measurements verify the three predictions of a proposed MHD collimation mechanism: 1) axial magnetic forces exist in current channels with spatially varying minor radius, 2) these forces can drive counter-propagating axial flows, 3) this process collimates the flux rope.
