Abstract
LONDON Physical Society, March 8.—Mr. Walter Baily, Vice-President, in the chair.—Mr. Naber exhibited, and shortly described, a new form of gas voltameter. The chief advantages claimed for this instrument are that either the oxygen or the hydrogen can be collected separately, and that the level of the liquid inside and outside the burette can be made the same; thus no correction has to be applied to the volume of the gas on this account. Variations in the temperature and barometric pressure are allowed for by reading an air thermometer which is fixed alongside the burette. The inventor considers that this instrument will compare favourably in accuracy with the copper and silver voltameters now in general use.
