The
Wiechert horizontal seismograph arrived in
Zagreb on March 12, 1909. Mohorovičić
installed the seismograph in the basement of
the building at Grič 3, and set it in trial
operation on March 16, 1909. The
seismograph was operating at Grič until
March 27, 1984.
Seismograph (disassembled into parts) was
moved into this building on September 12,
1985, and was thoroughly reconstructed until
1988. Due to the orientation of the room in
which the seismographs were originaly
installed, horizontal axes were directed
NW–SE and NE–SW, not as standard N–S and
E–W. This setup is kept here as well.
Wiechert horizontal mechanical seismographs
are still in operation. |
