Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis · Albert A. (Albert Abraham) Michelson
Note—The result of first determination excludes all work except the series commencing July 4. If previous work is included, and also the result first obtained by Professor Mayer, the result would be 256.089.
The previous work was omitted on account of various inaccuracies and want of practice, which made the separate results differ widely from each other.
