An old cigarette card (c. 1929) with a portrait of Evangelista Torricelli (1608– 1647) and an illustration of a barometer. Torricelli was an Italian physicist and mathematician, and a student of Galileo. He is best known for his invention of the barometer. In 1643, Torricelli filled a meter-long tube (with one end sealed off) with mercury. Holding it vertically into a basin of the liquid metal, the column of mercury fell leaving a 'Torricellian vacuum' above. This work was the foundation for the concept of atmospheric pressure. The barometer was to have a key role in weather forecasting. Stock Photo

The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period. The period depends largely on the length of the pendulum. From the first scientific investigations of the pendulum around 1602 by Galileo, a pendulum was the world's most accurate timekeeping technology until the 1930s. Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei (1564–1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer. Stock Photo
