Science Set Straight

Ramos and Camilo PASCAL
Washington Senator's pitchers
DR.. Briggs knew what made
a ball curve-the combination
of spin and the wind pressure
as it whipped through the air
But he wanted to know the
relative part each played at &C
feet. about the distance from
the pitchers mound to home
plate.
In one phase of the expert
ment he shot baSeballs at this
distance with a special air gun
and attempted to photograph
the flight. This gave the speed
and extent of the curve, but
tailed to detect the amount OF
spin.
So DR.. Briggs moved his base
to the Bureau of Standards
wind tunnel. BY dropping the
ball, spinning at a known speed
across a wind stream moving
at a known speed. he was able
TO compute the curve that would
result if a pitcher were throw
ing the ball 60 feet.
1t really was much more
complicated than this, as DR.,
Briggs relates it for more SCI
entific minds. 1t even involved
attaching a light fiat tape to

Stadium throw, it. The spin
of the pitch was determined
by the number Of twists in the
