The Gilman machine appears aligned North and South. The building it is housed in is parallel to "600 East Rd."

The "back" of the machine is on the East wall, lengthwise (and longitudinally) running N-S. - Brad On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 2:37 PM, H Veeder <hveeder...@gmail.com> wrote: > The initial momentum of the pendulum does not have to come from the > rotation of the earth. > It could come from some chemical energy such as a muscle or a bomb. > > Harry > > > On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 5:13 PM, David Roberson <dlrober...@aol.com> wrote: > >> You need to be thinking of momentum instead of energy Harry.
