Gift From the Netherlands to the United Nations
Caption Description
The Netherlands gift to the United Nations is a Foucault pendulum, a device offering visual proof of the rotation of the earth on its axis. The pendulum donated in 1955, comprises a 200-pound gold-plated sphere suspended from the 75-foot ceiling by a stainless steel wire, which holds the sphere to allow the weighted ball to swing freely in any plane.
A partial view of the pendulum.
