Not illustrated. 1873 Excerpt: ...confirmation of this opinion, 1 refer to the comparatively good results obtained by Robins and Hutton in experiments made with small calibres, by the aid of such a rude instrument as the ballistic pendulum. The late Ordnance Select Committee were accustomed to calculate the perforating power of a shot on the supposition that the vis viva of the shot must vary as the diameter of the shot, and as the square of the thickness of the plate. But on the Continent it is thought necessary to make the vis viva of the shot vary as the square of its diameter. The approximate law, however, must remain in doubt till a systematic course of experiments has been made with small calibres, and with shot which will perforate without breaking up, or sensibly changing their form. British Association Reports jor 1866, p. 411. APPENDIX. I. ADAPTATION OF THE CHRONOGRAPH SHEWN IN THE FRONTISPIECE TO MEASURE A SUCCESSION OF EXTREMELY SHORT INTERVALS OF TIME. When I brought forward my original scheme for a Chronometrie Instrument adapted for Ballistic Experiments, I lithographed a rough sketch to explain my plans to the late Ordnance Select Committee. The following explanatory description, which was appended, will be sufficiently intelligible without the diagrams: --"In all experiments relating to the velocities of projectiles, to the "resistances of the air to their motion, or to the effects of projectiles "upon iron plates, it is necessary, "(1) that the time should be registered by a clock of known rate of "going, and "(2) That the time of flight over several successive equal spaces "should be measured by the same instrument under the same con"ditions. "The adjoining plan has been compiled with a view to secure these "two results. Th...
