Account of a Determination of the Coefficents of Expansion of the Wires of the Jäderin Base-Line Apparatus

<p>This work Account of a Determination of the Coefficients of Expansion of the Wires of the Jäderin Base-Line Apparatus by Gerald Ponsonby Lenox Conyngham details experiments and findings related to the thermal expansion properties of wires used in the Jäderin baseline apparatus. Published in 1902 the study provides crucial data for ensuring the accuracy of geodetic surveys and measurements. The report meticulously outlines the methods employed to determine the coefficients of expansion offering valuable insights into the precision instruments used in early 20th-century scientific endeavors. This document remains relevant for historians of science and engineering as well as those interested in the evolution of measurement techniques.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
