Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of observations made using the zenith telescope from 1911 to 1918 at the Cambridge University Observatory. The telescope was designed by Bryan Cookson to investigate the value of the aberration constant using the method devised by Professor Kiistner. The author has completed Cookson's work, presenting the results with a detailed discussion of both the instrument and observing programme. The book also contains an investigation into scale and its temperature variation, presenting a linear relationship between the two. This book will be of interest to scholars with interests in astronomy and the history of science.
