In its stead was substituted a, pulley of short rudiiis, placid on the rod prolonged behind the Cardan joint. The thin cord /• /•, which was to transmit tho torsions of the rod, ] a--i d round the wheel of this pulley. In this manner the rotation of the pulley, resulting from the torsion of the rod, always faithfully transmitted this torsion to the experimental lever.
