The Earth-tide experiment

Henry G. Gale  
Abstract

I understood Professor Hayford to say that he did not believe that a fluid layer exists beneath the solid crust of the earth. The same conclusion may be drawn from the earth tide experiment which was conducted on the grounds of Yerkes Observatory by Professor Michelson and myself. It seems pretty certain that the earth tides are the same as they would be if the earth were a highly elastic homogeneous solid, both with respect to the phase and amplitude of the earth tides.
