Abstract
Mr. A. T. Dennison’s remarks are essentially correct, more particularly with regards to the assumed initial conditions. Mr. Prescott’s solution would correspond to a set of very special initial conditions in which the receptor mass would be passing, at the instant of arrival of the sine wave, through its equilibrium position with an initial momentum such that the initial amplitude of the transient term be equal to the amplitude of the steady‐state term. It is clear that such initial conditions have little or no real physical significance.
