Seisomograph for Rabaul

ANEW seismograph was delivered at Rabaul, NG, from Brisbane recently, just over a decade behind its scheduled delivery date.

The time lag was due to that un controlled factor, war, for the

equipment was ready for delivery just as the Japs landed at Rabaul, but was still safe in Australia when the invasion started.

Since then it has been in use at the Queensland University, and is now ready to do its job of charting the Rabaul earth tremors.
