Hi:
Somehow I got dropped from the mailing list around March 9, but have been added
back.
Hi:
I recently stumbled onto this at the Wiki page for tuning forks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork#In_clocks_and_watches
Showing an NBS 1,000 CPS standard.
related to a discussion on the GreenKeys list server about the history of the
tones used for radio teletype.
https://prc68.com/I/TuningForks.html#AFSK-Tones
and that lead to the NBS 1927 Yearbook pages 40 and pdf page 408
https://prc68.com/I/TuningForks.html#NBS_1000_CPS_Standard
https://www.google.com/books/edition/Standards_Yearbook/5h_9yYrnBCYC?hl=en&gbpv=0
Fig 16 (pdf pg 408) "Pendulum oscillations" and Fig 17 "Tuning-fork vibration".
Can someone explain what's shown in Fig 16 on pdf page 408? Maybe a Shortt pendulum can sitting on a shelf off the
stack of bricks?

Have Fun,
