AN instructor recently exhibited a
lecture-room device for determining
"g," the acceleration due to gravity,
by means of a number of iron balls
falling through certain distance, one
starting at the instant when it's pre-
decessor reaches it's destination. This
is accomplished by means of an
electromagnetic device, in which the
balls, failing on a. key, make and
break a circuit, each ball as it falls
liberating the next. From the time
occupied by all the balls the time for
one may be found. The apparatus is
said to give fairly accurate results.
