THOMSON, William, first Baron Kelvin (1824-1906). "Harmonic analyzer." Extract from Proceedings of the Royal Society 27 (1878): 371-73. Modern cloth. Thomson's harmonic analyzer was based on the disk-globe-and-cylinder integrator invented by his brother James Thomson, an engineer with a strong interest in physics. OOC 382. -- THOMSON. "On a machine for the solution of simultaneous linear equations." Extract from Proceedings of the Royal Society 28 (1878-79): 111-13. Modern cloth. Based on James Thomson's disk-globe-and-cylinder integrator. OOC 383. -- THOMSON. "The tide gauge, tidal harmonic analyser, and tide predicter." In Institution of Civil Engineers. Minutes of Proceedings 65 (1880-81): 2-25. Modern cloth. Folding plate. Predicting the rise and fall of the ocean tides has been a concern ever since people first began navigating the seas. OOC 384.
