Experiments made with the Bashforth Chronograph to find the Resistance of the Air to the Motion of Projectiles

Abstract

IF Mr. Bashforth could have struck a bargain with the Government similar to that made by James Watt with the Cornish miners, his royalties on the gunpowder saved annually by the use of his Ballistic Tables would have rivalled the claims contested in some recent lawsuits.

Experiments made with the Bashforth Chronograph to find the Resistance of the Air to the Motion of Projectiles.

By Francis Bashforth (Cambridge: at the University Press, 1895.)
