Extract

A weight is suspended by a rigid rod from frictionless bearings which allow it unimpeded travel of 360° in either direction. The pendulum swings in vacuo, and is kept in motion by electro-magnetic impulses at its lowest point, monitored (as regards direction of impulse) by two photo-electric cells, on either side of bottom-centre.
