gleicher Schwingungsdauer auf gemeinsamer Unterlage," _Sitzungsberichte
der Königlicher Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin_
(Berlin, 1902) pp. 245-253. Peirce investigated the plan of swinging two
pendulums on the same stand (_Report of the Superintendent of the U.S.
Coast and Geodetic Survey for 1880-81_, Washington, 1883, p. 26; also in
CHARLES SANDERS PEIRCE, _Collected Papers_, 6.273). At a conference on
gravity held in Washington during May 1882, Peirce again advanced the
method of eliminating flexure by hanging two pendulums on one support
and oscillating them in antiphase ("Report of a conference on gravity
determinations held in Washington, D.C., in May, 1882," _Report of the
Superintendent of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey for 1881-82_,
Washington, 1883, app. no. 22, pp. 503-516).

[97] Reported by Dr. F. Kühnen to the fifth session, October 9, 1895, of
the Eleventh General Conference, _Die Internationale Erdmessung_, held
in Berlin from September 25 to October 12, 1895. A footnote states that
Assistant O. H. Tittmann, who represented the United States,
subsequently reported Peirce's prior discovery of the influence of the
flexure of the pendulum itself upon the period (_Report of the
Superintendent of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey for 1883-84_,
Washington, 1885, app. 16, pp. 483-485).
