Then find the relevant text volume. MichaelG.

Borda used a pendulum bob made of Platina LINK https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/platina Can anyone please suggest why ? ... It’s not an alloy ~~I have heard-of before~~ of which I have previously heard. MichaelG. Edited By Michael Gilligan on 24/11/2020 22:33:33
