The preliminary experiment showed that the resistance tothe twist offered by the mercury in the pool was not negli-gibly small when the thick brass wire was dipped into themercury. The resistance was especially noticeable when thebrass wire carried a narrow rectangular piece for the purposeof damping.

To stop the oscillation a brasswire was fixed horizontally to the vertical wire and bentdownward, as shown in the annexed figure. Just below it asmall mercury cup was placed ; this cup was connected witha large one by a caoutchouc tube. This large cup was placednear the observers and could be raised or lowered by meanso£ a screw adjust
