...in any direction upon the ' earth's surface, there is a deflecting force arising from the ' earth's rotation which deflects it to the right in the northern ' hemisphere, but to the left in the southern.' That this theorem is legitimately proved on the data used by Ferrel, there can be no doubt ; so also... | |
