| Title | Paper, 'Note on an experiment by [Ernst] Chladni' by Charles Tomlinson |
| Date | 1885 |
| Description | Tomlinson writes: 'Lord Rayleigh, in a memoir “On the Circulation of Air in Kundt’s Tubes”, remarks (“Proc. Roy. Soc.,” xxxvi, 10, and “Phil. Trans.,” 1884, Part I, p. 1) that “it was discovered by Savart that very fine powder does not collect itself at the nodal lines, as does sand in the production of Chladni’s figures, but gathers itself into a cloud, which, after hovering for a time, settles itself over the places of maximum vibration.'
