Seismograph Record
6 October, 1916. With Mr. Mac Millan's
cordial sanction, encouragement
and help and Captain Corner's
help began overhauling Green's
boxes in search of the parts of the
seismograph and literature per-
taining thereto. Found some frames;
at least two of the boxes containing it had
never been opened. Found also box
containing lamp and sundry extra
parts, which had never been opened.
7.X - Found box containing needle
arms, damping apparatus, drums x to
i.e. whole of registering apparatus -
It had never been opened and some
of the steel parts were badly rusted by
their three years in their packing -
9.X. Worked on machine all day
and made much progress, being
greatly helped by picture of assem-
bled apparatus in catalogue of Spind-ler & Hoover which Mac fortunately
found thrown away in the shed
in front of the house.
10.X - Hampered by lack of direc-tions and rusted parts
Ten boxes in all; only 3 had been opened.
