Abstract
IN connection with the discussion on this subject originated by Prof. Bryan's paper, I may mention that I have been making some measurements during the past winter with the view of obtaining some idea of the velocities and forces involved in the motion of the transmitting mechanism. By fitting an electric chronographic arrangement to an upright piano I have been able to measure the actual times taken in different stages of the movement with different degrees of loudness.
