Course Notes Written by Ernest Gendreau, 1910s

Course notes on white paper. Most of the page is covered with handwritten notes about the physics of mirrors. In the top left, there is a drawing of the model of the apparatus and its placement for the experiment.

Archives de l’Université de Montréal, Fond Ernest-Joseph Gendreau. Circa 1910.

These course notes show the type of teachings Gendreau received at the University of Paris where he studied science and medicine. On the document, one can read the necessary manipulations to reproduce the Jamin mirrors experiment in a laboratory setting. They reference the positioning of the mirrors and burners as shown in the technical drawing.
