to make sound measurements. At this point the entire bench—desk,
platform, and chair—began to vibrate. An additional noise could be
heard, not too noticeable, but the vibration was excessive. Then it
stopped. After a short time the cycle was repeated. Investigation re-
vealed a large duplex air compressor in the penthouse. The unit had
been properly mounted on spring isolators. Then a drain line was
added, from the storage tank to the floor, making a solid contact and
completely negating the isolators. Natural frequencies caused this vi-
bration to be transmitted through the floor to the structure, down to
the floor below, and out the judge’s bench. The drain line was changed
so as to avoid its touching the floor, and the problem was solved.
