Hello-

Here is an article that appeared on the BBC Daily E-mail < 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/email >
about an amateur seismologist back in the days when they were all 
amateurs. It has a picture of his instrument that he constructed 
using a cast-iron street lamp pole for the vertical support!


>** Island scientist who shook the world **
>A Victorian scientist who pioneered the study of earthquakes, is 
>remembered on the Isle of Wight, 100 years after his death.
