THE CONSTRUCTION OF A ONE METRE DIAMETER ROTATING TABLE.

Abstract

The design and construction of a rotating table one meter in diameter, which is capable of steady rotation at speeds continuously variable up to 100 rpm, is reported. The control equipment associated with the rotating table is described, and special apparatus and techniques used in observing phenomena occurring on the table are discussed. Details are given of the procedure used in the precise alignment of the rotation axis of the table with the vertical. (Author)
