A chronograph returns to Observatory
 - Giacomo Bonnoli e Giovanni Pareschi
Negli scorsi giorni è avvenuta la restituzione di un cronografo realizzato nelle prime decadi del ’900. Il cronografo era stato dato in prestito dal Prof. Zagar al Prof. Bruno Cottalasso nel 1970 circa, perchè lo usasse nel laboratorio di fisica della scuola nella quale insegnava a Genova. Ora il cronografo si trova nelle bacheche dell’ufficio del direttore a Brera. Si ringraziano: Ginevra Trinchieri, Agnese Mandrino, Mario Carpino, Roberta Donnarumma, Sandro Manara e Angelo Fiorenza. Per una storia dei cronografi a Brera si veda il lavoro del Prof. P. Broglia: Cronografi registratori all’OAB.
