Abstract
IN connexion with the study of vibrating metal rods, a method of investigation has been devised which promises to lead to a number of new and interesting results. The experiment consists in tapping a rod at one end with a small hammer, and then making visible the train of waves which occur as a result of the impact. This is accomplished in the following manner.
