George Frederick Charles Searle (1864–1954) was a British physicist who worked at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge for 55 years. Originally published in 1915, this book presents an account of the principles of harmonic motion and their application in a laboratory environment. Illustrative figures are incorporated throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in physics, mechanics, the history of science and the history of education.
