The preceding experiments were made with common three stick 
kites two feet six inches long and two feet four inches wide, tapering 
from the middle to the top. Wire No. 30 was used, which was 
wound on a reel four feet in circumference, having a glass axle run- 
ning on a frame about three feet high, which was made in the same 
manner as the one used by the Franklin Kite Club of Philadelphia. 
An electrometer (5.) was connected with an iron ring (6.) throug 
which the wire passed, and which was suspended by means of silk, 
in front of the reel for the purpose of preventing the wire from run- 
ning off j in winding up rapidly. 
Also an instrument was used for finding the height of the kite, 
ch 1 constructed in the following manner. ‘Two stationary arms
