With the use of custom‐built organ pipes, and a government‐surplus wave analyzer, several undergraduates at Randolph‐Macon College in Ashland, Va., are making a study of the composition and intensity of musical overtones. Directed by Dr. Sanford P. Thompson, professor of physics at Randolph‐Macon, the group has set out to measure the relative strengths of different overtones, breaking them into components which can be related to the shapes and conditions of operations in the pipes.
