...earthquake of January 31, which was located as being off the coast of the North Western States by seismographic measurements, singularly occurred within five minutes of the hour at which the great earthquake of San Francisco on April 18, 1906 took place", declared Professor J. B. Woodworth '94, when interviewed by a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. "The San Francisco tragedy started at 5.12 A. M., while this quake was registered at 5.17 A. M., 120th meridian time...
Professor Woodworth stated that this tremor was not unforseen as geologists had been expecting a similar disturbance in this particular locality for several years. They were led to this forecast from the fact that the shock was centered in the belt between the great earthquake of Mount St. Elias in the region of Alaska, and the San Francisco district. The former disturbance, which occurred in 1899, was the greatest shock that has taken place in North America since the white man's occupancy, while the San Francisco disaster was a serious shakeup in the earth's crust. The section between...
When questioned about the method of locating the center of the shock, Professor Woodworth outlined the system of "triangulation". Three seismographic stations are chosen well apart and the distances to the shock are read on the charts. These distances are then taken as respective radii and circles are drawn about the three stations. The point of intersection of these curves marks the location of the center of the shock, which in the recent quake, was estimated to be about 2775 miles form Cambridge
...Station at the University. The vibrations began shortly after 8.24, and at about 8.40 became so violent that the needles which record them went off the drum on which the record them is made and put the seismograph temporarily out of commission. A rough computation by Professor J. B. Woodworth '94 makes the distance of the earthquakes about 4470 kilometres from Cambridge, or about 2778 miles...
