Excerpt from Determination of Gravity at Stations in Pennsylvania, 1879-1880: Appendix No. 19, Report for 1883 Experiments were also made at this station upon the effect of substituting rollers for the knives as the bearings of the pendulum. The rollers were steel cylinders of 5mm diameter, backed by steel planes. They were well constructed by Messrs. Darling. Brown, and Sharpe. The utmost pains were taken (here as well as in later experiments in Baltimore) to avoid the inclusion of dust between the roller and its support. Nevertheless the decrement of the amplitude was very rapid for arcs above 035 of the radius on each side of the vertical; and the periods show enormous variations. The experiments on the effect of the bells of the Geneva support are also of interest, though they fail to give a very accurate evaluation of this constant.
