Horizontal pendulum seismograph designed by John Milne and operated at Kew Observatory

This design of horizontal pendulum seismograph detected small vibrations from distant earthquakes. Instruments of this type formed part of a worldwide network of seismographs administered from Britain. Observations from similar instruments in different locations could be compared in order to determine earthquake epicentres, and increasingly seismologists used the data to reveal the interior structure of the Earth.

This particular instrument was operated at Kew Observatory from 1898 until 1925, when it was retired in favour of a suite of more sensitive Golitsyn (or Galitzin) seismographs that had been transferred from Eskdalemuir Observatory in Scotland (see Science Museum Group object number 1966-94).
