Velocities of P at short distances

Abstract
Recording of P and S at six or more stations to epicentral distances not over 160 km. makes it possible to calculate the velocities, assuming only that they are constant. Origin times, epicenters, and depths are found independently of velocity. Installation of new temporary stations has supplied appropriate data in southern California. For 6 of 8 well-recorded shocks the calculated velocity of P is near 6.4 km/sec.
