Abstract
A very frequent reaction to percussion is vibration and shaking which occur in bodies. Somewhere else we will deal with quivering in animals which of course is not different from the oscillation observed in pendulums. Consequently, in order properly to understand the nature of shaking, one must consider the action of a pendulum which is absolutely similar to shaking.
