Hello List,
Here (down) is the copy a message I was trying to send (without success) during this afternoon. Trying again...Hope it works now.
In the meantime, I well read (through the list) more replies to Pierre-Marie (Eric, Bernd).
So if I can help...
Cheers,
Zelimir
----- Hi Pierre-Marie, J�rn, Steve, List,
I have a photocopy of the following document:
"Relation d'un voyage fait dans le D�partement de l'Orne, pour constater la r�alit� d'un m�t�ore observ� � l'Aigle le 6 flor�al an 11"
Par J.-B. BIOT
(lu � la classe des Sciences math�matiques et physiques de l'Institut National, le 29 messidor an 11)
Document "Imprim� par ordre de l'Institut, Paris, Baudouin, imprimeur de l'Institut National, Thermidor, An XI"...
pp 3-43,
including a map entitled "carte des lieux sur lesquels a �clat� le m�t�ore du 6 flor�al an XI aux environs de l'Aigle, D�partement de l'Orne"
(the same map that is very often reprinted in many modern treatises).
The text (beginning on p 5) is in old French and it is Biot who is speaking, thus reporting in full detail his investigations on the field, a few days after the famous fall was observed...
From the format and the way it was printed, this could well be a copy of an "article" (= report) that appeared in an old issue of "Annales de Physique" . This is easy to check and I can do it readily but do not have my data on hand by now.
It is obviously a detailed report written by Biot and read (as it was the use) by a reporter to the "Academy". In other words, this is not a book as such but the detailed report is probably very complete.
This copy comes from a local library at l'Aigle and was kindly provided to me by a library responsible, through a local friend.
However, if it comes from "The Annales", I guess it can be also found easily alsewhere, possibly also in the US.
In case, the "Annales de Physiques" are available at the library of my university here.
I don't know if this could help you Pierre-Marie (or anyone else) but I will be happy to provide you of a copy of my copy in due time, in case you need this. Let me know off list and we can make arrangements.
Best wishes,
Zelimir
