...Abraham Michelson clocked the velocity of light between two mountains in California, got an average result of 186,284.45 mi. per sec. For further precision he built a mile-long vacuum tube. Before the measurements were complete he died. Grizzled Dr. Francis Gladheim Pease of Mt. Wilson and Fred Pearson, longtime Michelson assistant, carried on.
