Publisher's Synopsis
Ballistic Experiments From 1864-1880 is a book written by Francis Bashforth and published in 1907. The book is a detailed account of the experiments conducted by Bashforth on the subject of ballistics between the years 1864 and 1880. The author was a renowned mathematician and physicist, and in this book, he provides a comprehensive analysis of the results of his experiments, which were carried out to determine the trajectory of projectiles and the resistance of the air to their motion. The book contains a wealth of information on the principles of ballistics, including the effects of gravity, air resistance, and wind on the motion of projectiles. Bashforth also discusses the different methods used to measure the velocity and trajectory of projectiles, as well as the instruments used in his experiments. The book is richly illustrated with diagrams and charts, which help to make the concepts more accessible to readers.Ballistic Experiments From 1864-1880 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ballistics or the development of modern weaponry. It provides a detailed insight into the methods used by one of the pioneering scientists in the field and is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of Bashforth in his pursuit of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
