Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IL SEISMOMETRY. Nature of earthquake vibrations--Many instruments called seismometers only seismoscopes--Eastern seismoscopcs, columns, projection seismometers--Vessels tilled with liquid--Palmieri's mercury tules--The ship seismoscope--The cacciatore--Pendulum instruments oE ICreil, Wagner, Ewing, and Gray--Bracket seismographs--West's parallel motion instrument--Gray's conical pendulums, rolling spheres, and cylinders--Verbeck's ball and plate seismograph--The prin iple of Perry and Ayrton--Vertical motion instruments--Record receivers--Time-recording apparatus--The Gray anc Milne seismograxjh. Before we discuss the nature of earthquake motion, the determination of which has been the aim of modern seismological investigation, the reader will naturally look for an account of the various instruments which have been employed for recording such disturbances. A description of the earthquake machines which have been used even in Japan would form a bulky volume. All that we can do, therefore, is to describe briefly the more prominent features of a few of the more important of these instruments. In order that the relative merits of these may be better understood, we may state generally that modern research has shown a typical earthquake to consist of a series of small tremors succeeded by a shock, or series of shocks, separated by more or less irregular vibrations of the ground. The vibrations are often both irregular in period and in amplitude, and they have a duration of from a few seconds to several minutes. We will illustrate the records of actual earthquakes in a future chapter, but in the meantime the idea that an earthquake consists of a single shock must be dismissed from the imagination. To construct an instrument which at the...

Excerpt from Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements In the following pages it has been my object to give a systematic account of various Earth Movements. These comprise Earthquakes, or the sudden violent movements of the ground; Earth Tremors, or minute movements which escape our attention by the smallness of their amplitude; Earth Pulsations, or movements which are overlooked on account of the length of their period; and lastly, Earth Oscillations or movements of long period and large amplitude which attract so much attention from their geological importance. It is difficult to separate these Earth Movements from each other, because they are phenomena which only differ in degree, and which are intimately associated in their occurrence and in their origin. Because Earthquakes are phenomena which have attracted a universal attention since the earliest times, and about them so many observations have been made, they are treated of at considerable length.
