From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions. ↗

I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes recorded at these stations, with an appropriate correction for distance. ↗

If one introduces the concept of energy of an earthquake then that is a theoretically derived quantity. ↗

If the assumptions used in calculating energy are changed, then this seriously affects the final result, even though the same body of data might be used. ↗

There is another common misapprehension that the magnitude scale is itself some kind of instrument or apparatus. Visitors will frequently ask to 'see the scale.' ↗

This is very similar to astronomy where different magnitudes are assigned to the brightness of an astronomical object, depending on the range of wavelengths being measured. ↗

As a little boy of eleven I entered the Cadet Corps. I was not particularly eager to become a Cadet, but my father wished it. So my wishes were not consulted. ↗

In the heat of the Russian summer a sleeping car is the most horrible instrument of martyrdom imaginable. ↗
