Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Drawing of pendulum experiment to determine the length of the seconds pendulum at Paris, conducted in 1792 by Jean-Charles de Borda and Jean-Dominique Cassini. From their original paper. They used a pendulum that consisted of a 1 1/2 inch (3.8 cm) platinum ball suspended by a 12 foot (3.97 m) iron wire (F,Q). It was suspended in front of the pendulum (B) of a precision clock (A). Alterations to image: moved observer (O) closer to wall to reduce unwieldy size of image, converted to PNG. Image shows aliasing artifacts (crosshatching) from scanning of original halftone image.
