Excerpt from A Precision Determination of the Acceleration of Gravity With a Discussion of Corrections

Galileo, about a.d. 1600 established the laws of the simple pendulum, and recognized its use as a means of determining time intervals. Soon after Mersenne determined the length of the seconds pendulum, and in 1673 Huygens solved the problem of determining the l length of a simple pendulum equivalent to a given compound pendulum, and worked out the theory of the latter.
