Download or read book Proceedings of the United States National Museum Vol 12 written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Vol. 12: 1889 The extension of the scope of the National Museum during the past few years, and the activity of the collectors employed in its interest, have caused a great increase in the amount of material in its possession. Many of the objects gathered are of a novel and important character, and serve to throw a new light upon the study of nature and of man. The importance to science of prompt publication of descriptions of this material led to the establishment, in 1878, of the present series of publications, entitled "Proceedings of the United States National Museum," the distinguishing peculiarity of which is that the papers are published in pamphlet form as fast as completed, and in advance of the bound volume. The date of publication being plainly expressed on each article the ready settlement of questions of priority is assured. The present volume constitutes the twelfth of the series. The articles in this series consist: First, of papers prepared by the scientific corps of the National Museum; secondly, of papers by others, founded upon the collections in the National Museum; and, finally, of facts and memoranda from the correspondence of the Smithsonian Institution. The Bulletins of the National Museum, the publication of which was commenced in 1875, consist of elaborate papers based upon the collections of the Museum, reports of expeditions, etc., while the proceedings facilitate the prompt publication of freshly-acquired facts relating to biology, anthropology, and geology, descriptions of restricted groups of animals and plants, the discussion of particular questions relative to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions. Other papers, of more general popular interest, are printed in the Appendix to the Annual Report. Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletins of the National Museum are referred to the Committee on Publications, consisting of the following members: T. H. Bean, A. Howard Clark (editor), Otis T. Mason, John Murdoch, Leonhard Stejneger, Frederick W. True, and Lester F. Ward.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Carnegie Museum, 1919, Vol. 12 Peter Henlein or Hele of Nuremberg, a noted clock-maker, seems to hold the undisputed honor of inventing the watch. He was born in 1480 and died in 1542. His ingenuity in substituting a spring to take the place of the ponderous weights of the clock made the watch, or portable clock, a possibility. This first spring was simply a straight band about a pillar. In the year 1658 Hooke applied a spiral spring to the balance-wheel of the watch in the same year that Huyghens first applied the pendulum to the clock. It does not seem necessary to attempt a history of the mechanical improvements which followed, as many technical works, fully illustrated, have been published. It was some time, however, before the mechanical improvements kept pace with the perfection which was lavished upon the ornamentation of the case.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanics' Magazine, Museum, Register, Journal, and Gazette, 1830, Vol. 12 It has not unfrequently happened, that where science has left nothing to discover, it has still left much to be done in the way of practical application; and of this also, our present Volume exhibits a striking example in the article entitled Portable Trigonometry without Logarithms.
