- W2375015616 abstract "THE letter of Herr Koenig inserted in NATURE (vol. xvi. p. 162) did not come under my notice till July 8. On October 27 last year I counted all the 64 sets of beats in Herr Appunn's tonometer, one through 15, the rest through 20 seconds with a pocket chronometer which was gaining less than 4 seconds a day, and found every set of beats perfectly true. The perfection of the consonances, more than 80 of which I tested mechanically, by observing the beats that arose on flattening one of the two consonant notes, seemed to me to eliminate all possible error of irregular counting. The suggestion now is that the beats were perfectly regular and uniform, and that no exception need be taken to my counting, but that Herr Appunn's pendulum was originally incorrect, to such an extent that what appeared to him 80 beats in 20 seconds, were only 79.27, and that my chronometer was not sufficient to detect the error. If this were the case all the numbers on Herr Appunn's tonometer would have to te reduced by as nearly as possible 9 in 1,000, which would make them agree with Herr Koenig's. I shall therefore have to re-test the tonometer with a larger chronometer and if possible count each set of beats for a longer time. I shall not be able to undertake this examination at present, but I shall not neglect doing so, and will inform you of the result. It is light, however, to say that on July 9 and 10 I received communications from Prof. McLeod showing that his improved instrument for counting vibrations gave results almost exactly agreeing with Herr Koenig's numbers. The marked difference of Herr Appunn's and Herr Koenig's numbers will I hope lead to such an examination of the subject as will result in an accurate determination of pitch that can be generally accepted." @default.
