Preface
ated with Prof. Edward W. Morley in those ether drift experiments that
still concern astronomers and mathematicians dealing with Einstein's theory
Lightning and Cosmic Rays (1939), and (translated and annotated) Theo-
bald Boehm's The Flute and Flute Playing (1908, revised 1922, reprinted
1960) .Death came to Dr. Miller at Cleveland on February 22, 1941, just as
he was preparing to move with his entire collection of flutes, books, and
related materials to the Library of Congress, and here complete the varied
investigations that remained unfinished and unpublished.
A similar variety of interests is reflected in Dr. Miller's collection of flutes
and allied instruments, which are here listed publicly for the first time. No. 1
in the collection is his father's Civil War fife, used as a toy and broken during
young Dayton's childhood. No. 4 betrays the eager enthusiasm of the adult
flutist, finally able to afford a first-class instrument made especially for him.
Nos. 8 and 10 show Dayton G. Miller as both the theoretical scientist and the
expert craftsman ; the first is of silver and the second of gold, and this concern
with the properties of diflferent materials for musical instruments was a major
factor in his development of the phonodeik and in the many acoustical
experiments he subsequently carried out, using examples in his collection.
(When war work of 1917-19 he had started plans for a
interrupted by his
platinum were never resumed.) But though his interest in acoustics
flute that
reasons for admiring and acquiring whistles, recorders, flageolets, fifes, flutes,
and even a few other species of instruments of many kinds from many lands.
It is interesting to note that a great part of the collection, close to 85 percent,
was acquired after Dr. Miller had passed his 50th birthday.
The information given in this Checklist is based very largely on the infor-
mation found in Dr. Miller's neatly pencilled ledgers, in which each instru-
ment is accorded a single page that is supplemented upon occasion by
drawings, letters, and other documentation. Only rarely has it been possible
to add to or corroborate Dr. Miller's data by securing the opinions of spe-
cialists in the many fields that come into question. Often, for example, it
