Hi !
I would like to know if you have recorded some variation of the trace of
your pendulum during the eclipse.
Thank you !

Hmm, yes I have. Before the eclipse the rotation of the azimut seemed to
have a fixed rate.
During the eclipse, this rate seemed to be near zero.

However, I am not very happy about the accuracy of my measurements. One
should really spend months on this experiment  and considerable money to
perfect the measurements, and not a few hours, as I have done. One should
not place too much trust in my measurements.

If anything, these experiments gives you a healthy respect for the effect
of hinges and suspensions on pendulums, which can be transferred to
seismometers. It is very diffucult to make a perfect suspension, and I wont
claim that I succeeded in this.

Regards, Anders
