% Description:   Michelson's measurements of the velocity of light in air.  In 1879, A. A. Michelson made 100 determinations of the velocity of light in air using a modification of a method proposed by the French physicist Foucault.  The data are given here as reported by Stigler.  The numbers are in km/sec, and have had 299,000 subtracted from them.  The currently accepted "true" velocity of light in vacuum is 299,792.5 km/sec.  Stigler has applied corrections used by Michelson and reports that the "true" value appropriate for comparison to these measurements is 734.5.  Each trial may be a summary of several experimental observations.
