In crystalline structures, heat, which expands the atoms, by twisting them produces striae, increases the resistance, etc. Each form or pitch may be transformed into an equivalent quantity of another pitch above or below it in the scale of 105 octaves. The transformation can occur only through its static effect, developing vibrations of harmonic pitches above and below their fundamental vibration, or developing with juxtaposed aggregates, resultant and difference, or third order, as the case may be. A table of the intervals and harmonics of the normal harmonic scale will indicate the ratios in which the transformation of forces will occur. Page 4 18.
Atoms have each a different and definite pitch, at which they naturally vibrate.
Atomic pitch is determined directly from its simple spectrum. Atomic pitch is determined by computations from its associate spectrum with all other atoms, as in known spectra. Atoms not isolated and in a state of tension between forces that oppose and increase the equilibrium oscillate bodily at a pitch that is a resultant of the atomic weight, atomic volume, and tension. The frequency of atomic oscillation increases and diminishes inversely as the square of the pressure. Page 5 24.
