And click Here for a PDF file of the final pages 45-70, which contain (from page 52 onwards) Latham's description of his automatically operating paraconical pendulum - a thing that I personally thought was impossible to build, but he did do it! this was what inspired me... (1257K)

Latham's operational methodology was also far ahead of any other researcher to date: he didn't monitor the azimuth of swing of the pendulum, but rather the minor axis of its elliptical motion - which is presumed to be much closer to the seat of the anomalies. This document is of the first importance in the field.
