Dear Ironmill:

Could you please give us some ideas about how you did that?

Thanks

Since my mate from Oz decided to comment on Lord Rayleigh, I
would like to note that I used Lissajou figures to determine
the thermal diffusivity of some materials employed in
casting of metals. I do thank him for the technique.

Too much of a good thing is wonderful!

This guy, /inter alia/, scored a Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1904. His name was John William Strutt (third
Baron Rayleigh). A brief biography is to be found at
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1904/strutt-bio.html
but googling Lord Rayleigh will score some 226K hits.
