Abstract
The design of an automated internal friction apparatus of inverted torsion pendulum type is described. The wave-form analysis, instead of the traditional wave-height analysis, was employed. In addition to the omission of manual operation or supervision, the accuracy of measurement was increased so much, because, through Fourier transformation of the wave form of a damped oscillation, the disturbing components of parasitic motions such as lateral or precessional one of the pendulum are separated out from the genuine torsional motion and eliminated on calculating the decay constant.
