Excerpt from Ballistic Experiments From 1864 to 1880
When the Council of Military Education were preparing to establish the Advanced Class for Royal Artillery Officers, in 1863, they kindly invited me to become a candidate for the office of Professor of Applied Mathematics. But, as I was otherwise engaged, I felt obliged to decline the invitation. However, when they pressed me a second time, I had considered the matter, and found that it would be possible to determine the resistance of the air to the motion of projectiles by the use of a chronograph specially devised for that purpose. With proper assistance, it seemed to me that this work might be accomplished in about two years.
In the Government application for temporary leave of non-residence for me it was stated that.
