It is part of the Geophysics Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and is based in Mexico City.
Luigi Palmieri (22 April 1807 – 9 September 1896) was an Italian physicist and meteorologist.He was famous for his scientific studies of the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius, for his researches on earthquakes and meteorological phenomena and for improving the seismograph of the time.
Basic horizontal-motion seismograph. The inertia of the round weight tends to hold the pen still while the base moves back and forth. A simple seismometer, sensitive to up-down motions of the Earth, is like a weight hanging from a spring, both suspended from a frame that moves along with any motion detected.

Milne was hired by the Meiji government of the Empire of Japan as a foreign advisor and professor of mining and geology at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo from 8 March 1876, where he worked under Henry Dyer and with William ...
Wood-Anderson seismograph recorder, with synchronous AC motor that drives its drum at a constant speed of 1 mm per second. The Wood–Anderson seismometer (also known as the Wood–Anderson seismograph) is a torsion seismometer developed in the United States by Harry O. Wood and John August Anderson in the 1920s to record local earthquakes in southern California.
