GENERAL DESCRIPTION. The apparatus was situated in a small building, entirely separate from the other University buildings, and where it was free from dis- turbances. Fig. 6 gives a general view of the apparatus. To a movable axis, a b, a calorimeter similar to Joule's is attached, and the whole is suspended by a torsion wire, c. The shaft of the calorimeter comes out from the bottom, and is attached to a shaft, e f, which receives a uniform motion from the engine by means of the bevel wheels g... and h. To the axis, a b, an accurately turned wheel, k I, was attached, and the moment of the force tending to turn the calorimeter was measured by the weights o and p, attached to silk tapes passing around the circum- ference of this wheel in combination with the torsion of the suspend- ing wire. To this axis was also attached a long arm, having two sliding weights, q and r, by which the moment of inertia could be varied or determined. The number of revolutions was determined by a chronograph, which received motion by a screw on the shaft ef, and which made one revolution for 102 of the shaft.
