Abstract
THE tuning-fork is already employed to a great extent as a measurer of small intervals of time, and this use promises to become more extended as its advantages become more fully appreciated.Any method which will facilitate the operation of finding the rate, or increase its accuracy should therefore merit consideration.The following plan appears to be open to fewer objections than any now in use, and its accuI'acy is limited only b.y the accuracy of the pendulum.The fork to be raterl, for example an Ut.making about 128 double vibrations per second, is compared with an Ut.kept in vibration by electro-magnets and which shall be designated EUt., and this is compared directly with the seconds pendulum, and then the two forks are once more compared, to make cert.ainthat EUt. has not changed ill the interval.Thus Ut, is
