Description

An instrument has been designed by Professor Schmidt for the purpose of reducing the magnetic observations from the Antarctic Expedition. This instrument will facilitate comparisons between reductions. It will be useful beyond this investigation in the intercomparison of disturbed magnetic waves. A manuscript note at the bottom states that the cost of the apparatus is £75.
