In 1916 and 1917 Fr. Pigot carried out the first ohotographic Foucault pendulum experiments in the southern hemisphere. The experiment was first carried out at Riverview with a 40-foot pendulum and then in the dome of the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney with an 85-foot pendulum.  The pendulum bob and one of the records are now in the musuem of the Vatican Observatory.
