This item was about the high resolution line sketch spectra captured by John evershed during his experiment at Kodaikanal Observatory. While experimenting, he came across to capturing the high resolution spectra of Altair, Nova Aquila, Arcturus in the observatory. In this sketch, he pictured the resolution spectra that he observed as Umbra for high resolution and Penumbra for low resolution.

This item was about the Sunspot spectra taken by John Evershed, where he discovered that there is a radial outflow of gases in a sunspot. This effect is now known as the "Evershed Effect".
