These files describe the strainmeter recording at CI.ISA of the 1960 M9.5 Chile event. According to Hiroo Kanamori: I believe that this is produced from isa60.asc which I got from somewhere (very probably Guy Masters) many years ago. Very probably this is the one Prof. Stewart Smith digitized from the original paper record. It was hand-digitized at 1 min interval. There are 26,668 points (Approximately 444 hours (18.5 days). I think this was used by BPS(1961), in which they say they used 16,000 points. The spectrum they obtained is shown in Fig. 1 of their paper. Luis and I did more or less the same in our 2019 paper. BPS's spectrum was computed with autocorrelation with some fairly strong smoothing, but I believe that it is correct. In those days, Caltech did not have a computer and they had to use Sandia's IBM704! In any case, this is an historical data. I had the original "long" paper record which Dr. Stewart Smith gave to me. I recently officially transferred it to Caltech Archive. --- References: Benioff, H., F. Press, and S. Smith (1961), Excitation of the free oscillations of the Earth by earthquakes, J. Geophys.
