Figure 5.1. Weber-type gravity wave antenna. Compare Weber’s method of seismic insulation with the heavy concrete foundations used in the Michelson–Morley experiments (see chapter 2). Heavy foundations actually link the apparatus firmly to the ground thus making certain that vibrations will be channelled through to the apparatus. Remember that Michelson (chapter 2) discovered this his apparatus would be disturbed by stamping on the ground 100 metres from the labratory. Weber-type decectors are much less sensitive than this due to the ingenious insulation and the narrow waveband of the radiation.
