Ether-Drift Interferometer, as used by Morley
and Miller in 1903-1905 — The experiments made with this instrument,
in Cleveland, gave negative results: no ether-drift was found. Einstein
called these experiments decisive and based his entire theory upon the
failure to measure an ether-drift by Michelson and Morley in 1887, and
by Morley and Miller in 1904. From: Gravitation Versus Relativity,
by Charles Lane Poor (New York; London: G.P. Putnam's Son's, 1922).Photo
