Dent 1437 pendulum |
The heavy five-rod zinc and steel gridiron pendulum, is suspended from the backplate. The design, introduced by John Arnold, consists of two zinc and three steel rods and a large brass-clad bob, pierced with rectangular openings and a bridge acting as the point of suspension. In this configuration, the bob’s center of gravity rests on a screw threaded into the lowest cross piece of the pendulum. The screw may be turned for adjustment by means of a pin inserted into small holes along its length. |
