As this distance represents but 30X icr45 cm., there is no diffi-culty of realizing lo6 cm. in case of these long fringes. 3. Measurements. First= and second-order spectra.—The steadiness of thefringes, even in an agitated location, induced me to make a few measurementsior orientation. Accordingly, the Fraunhofer micrometer, reading to icr4 cm.,was provided at its screw-head with a light wooden wheel w, figure 4, about.
