It is traditional to keep the family egg-cups on the ledge formed by the wooden bottom of the glass section. Every variety of egg-cup is here displayed?white, red, and blue china, and metal. Occasionally other small, gay articles a...

Spectral changes in the tom-tom related to striking force

This study has investigated the question how the radiated spectra of a tom-tom changes with striking force. Five tom-toms of different size were recorded at four dynamic levels (pp, mp, mf and ff) and their averaged spectra analysed. It was observed that the number of modes excited increase with playing strength, seen in the radiated spectra as a characteristic change in slope for higher freque...

Tom Kirkwood is Professor of Medicine and Director of the Institute for Ageing and Health at Newcastle University, UK. After training in mathematics and biology at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford he first worked on the measurement of blood clotting and fibrinolytic factors. Early in his career he began an interest in the biology of ageing which he has followed since 1975. In 1977 he pu...
