long- and short- period seismometers on common frame


The short period seismometer is on the left and the long-period seismometer is on the right. Notice how the wire for the boom of the short-period seismometer (left) is suspended from a long bolt that extends to the left from the top of the frame, and notice also that on the short-period seismometer the weight is located close to the frame.  The details of the long bolt for the suspension of the wire for the short-period unit are shown below.
