Sinossi
Excerpt from Determination of the Difference in Longitude Between Each Two of the Stations Washington, Cambridge, and Far Rockaway
A discussion of ways and means of making as accurate a deter mination as possible led to the plan Of using the German cables which cross the Atlantic in two links, one extending from the island of Borkum, in the North Sea, to Fayal, in the Azores, and the other from Fayal to Far Rockaway, on the outer coast of Long Island, N. Y. It was arranged that the German observers should do the cable work, while the American observers should connect the station at the Far Rockaway end of the cables with the United States longitude net. The Borkum station had already been connected with the German net.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an account of international efforts in the early 20th century to map the exact longitude between the continents of North America and Europe. Completed just before the outbreak of the First World War, the project involved the precise measurement of longitude difference between stations in Washington, Cambridge, and Far Rockaway in the United States, and a location in the Azores, with a final connection to a station outside of Berlin, Germany. Through the meticulous description of the instruments, methods, and challenges of this endeavor, the author gives readers an in-depth look at the evolution of precision measurement and international scientific cooperation and diplomacy in the early 20th century. This book will be of interest to historians of science and technology and to anyone who appreciates the human endeavor to transcend geographical barriers through scientific collaboration.
