Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Manchester Literary Philosophical Society of Manchester, Vol. 2
The President exhibited a slip of paper which he had received from Professor Thomson. On the paper was printed by photography the line indicating the various changes of atmo Spheric electricity, which took place at the observatory of Kew during twelve successive hours. Much interest was excited by witnessing one of the first fruits of Professor Thomson's beautiful instrument. The paper indicated a series of very rapid oscillations, about one per minute, of the intensity of atmospheric electrical force.
