                                Diagram in Guido Grandi's letter to Lorenzo Magalotti on the nature and property of sound. The letter was read at the meeting of the Royal Society on 6 April 1709 and was deemed fit to be printed. It was thus published as Guido Grandi, ‘De natura et proprietatibus Soni’, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. 26, no. 319 (January and February 1709), pp. 270-288 (figure printed at p. 275).
