The next thing I wished to find out waswhether there was a quantitative relation betweenthe height above the floor of the platform fromwhich levitation was effected and the verticaldownward reaction on the platform. Experiment 51 : To find the relation betweenheight of platform and vertical downwardreaction during levitation. Fig. 16 gives a diagrammatic sketch of theapparatus employed, whilst a photograph is alsoshown (fig. 17). 124 REALITY OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA A is the parcel spring balance (see Experiment50) reading up to 56 lb., with a flat rectangularplanished steel pan 14 in. x 9 in. B is a flat iron bar clamped firmly to the panof the balance. C is a circular iron rod which can slide up and. Fig. 16. down through a hole in the end of B, and whichcan be fixed to B by a pin arrangement at in-tervals in height of 2 in. D is a flat iron bar fixed at right angles to C. E is a flat rectangular-shaped piece of woodfixed to the top of D. The method of carrying out the experimentwas as follows:—The apparatus was placed onthe floor, to which the base of the balance was The Eeality of Psychic Phenomena.]
