which has a length of 24 inches.

As a component nomenclature, Table 2, below, provides a list of all the principal elements
composing both single pendulum systems. Each of these elements is located and identified,
through a unique identification (ID) number, on both medium and long single pendulum
systems as represented in Figures 5 and 6, above.
