Horton Times a 1925 Eclipse
Abstract/Description: | Joseph Horton works with equipment. During the solar eclipse a number of observation posts in the United States and in the North Atlantic were connected by tellephone lines and radio to the Bell Laboratory in New York. Signals marking the transit of the moon's shadow were recorded on a moving tape together with time marks from the standard frequency tuning fork. The times of these transits were recorded with an accuracy of better than 0.01 second. |
