Mag._ (1876); Moisson, _Notice sur la chronographie systeme Schultz_ (Paris, 1875); Paul la Cour, _La Roue phonique_ (Copenhagen, 1878); Mach, "Collected Papers on Chronographs," _Nature_, 42, p. 250; C.V.

FOOTNOTE: [1] The velocity of the projectile is found thus. Let V be the velocity of the bob, due to the impact of the projectile, _v_ the velocity of the projectile, _h_ the height through which the bob is raised vertically, then V squared ___ h = --, and V = \/2gh. 2g If W be the weight of the bob, and _w_ the weight of the projectile, then / W \ ___ wv = (W + w)V, and v = ( --- + 1 ) \/2gh. \ w / If _l_ be the true length of suspension, and C the length of the chord of the arc of displacement of the bob after being struck, then ___ / W \ / g C squared = 2hl, and v = ( --- + 1 ) / --- .
