Abstract
The proposed method involves the timing of the flight of a ball projected upwards and allowed to rise and fall freely under gravity and the principle, the advantages and the difficulties of the method are discussed. Means of locating a ball in flight to i μ are considered and the results of some studies of the adopted scheme are given. The probable layout of the apparatus is outlined.
