Detector on Cashmere
A seismic detector will be installed on the Cashmere Hills because the Canterbury Museum is considered to be inadequate as a site for such a delicate scientific instrument.
“The museum, which is on a thick sand and gravel foundation and is subject to traffic noise and movement, has never been an ideal site for the seismic detector,” said the museum’s director (Dr R. S. Duff). A detector would be installed at a quiet site on the Cashmere Hills and the signal would be relayed by telephone line to the museum where it would be recorded on a modern, compact recorder, he said. This system would educate the public as efficiently as the present seismograph, which had served as a demonstration exhibit and an earthquake recorder for many years, Dr Duff said.
