I have all the Shortt info you need. Not all of it is for Wikipedia; contact me off-line. Just got back from the CalTech Time Symposium: http://leapsecond.com/nawcc2013/ The conjecture about tides is explained in great detail here: http://leapsecond.com/hsn2006/ Meanwhile, see: http://leapsecond.com/pend/shortt/ http://leapsecond.com/pend/shortt/1931-RAS-Analysis-Loomis-Chronograph-Brown-Brouwer.pdf http://leapsecond.com/pend/shortt/1931-RAS-Precise-Measurement-Time-Loomis.pdf /tvb (i5s) > On Dec 9, 2013, at 5:02 PM, Brooke Clarke <bro...@pacific.net> wrote: > > Hi: > > The Wiki page for the Shortt pendulum clock has a "Recent Measurements" > (1984) paragraph that's in error. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortt-Synchronome_clock#Recent_accuracy_measurement > > While it's probably true that the clock is stable to 200 uS per day (i.e. > 2E-9) I believe Alfred Loomis discovered the effect of the moon on this clock > a long time ago. > Is there a link to his paper at the Royal Society on that topic that could be > added to the Wiki page? > > Also see: > http://www.amazon.com/Tuxedo-Park-Street-Science-Changed/dp/0684872889/ref=sr_1_1 > http://www.leapsecond.com/hsn2006/ch1.htm > > -- > Have Fun, > > Brooke Clarke > http://www.PRC68.com > http://www.end2partygovernment.com/2012Issues.html > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com > To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
