I was looking at doing some more interesting waymarks and the Foucault Pendulum intrigued me. I saw that there was one in Ottawa and one in Kingston. Since Kingston was closer, this is where I came. The Pendulum is located in Stirling Hall (Physics Department) that is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 - 5:00 and closed on the weekends. However, if you come during the weekend, I've given the coords to the eastern entrance and if you look through the doors, you can still see the pendulum. The pendulum was donated by the Applied Science class of 1962 and is quite the display. So if you're in town, please drop in and check it out, it's really cool. Also I'd like to thank John Bullock of Queens for helping me with this waymark, his generosity and support made this waymark possible.
Cheers
