We show using a comparison of source time function pulse widths that a group of earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault near Parkfield have a constant duration over a magnitude range of 1.4 to 3.7. Earthquakes on secondary faults have an increase in duration with magnitude, which is the expected relationship for the usual observation of constant stress drop. The constant duration suggests that fau...
