A NEW PATTERN

FORTIN'S

STANDARD BAROMETER

Registered Design No. 420,297

As will be seen by the illustration, this Barometer is built on original lines.

By the absence of the ordinary tubular enclosures (in the usual form of instrument) the mercurial column is FULLY EXPOSED to view, NO SHADOWS are thrown upon the column, and therefore an extremely accurate and instantaneous reading is made possible. The scales being graduated upon the flat side peces the DIVISIONS AND FIGURES ARE ALWAYS IN VIEW, and the vernier is very much more legible than in the ordinary tubular patterns.

The bore of the tube is 0.5 inch.

The scales are graduated in inches and millimetres, and, by means of the verniers, are capable of being sub-divided to read to 0.002 inches and 0.1 m/m.

The attached Thermometer on the body of the instrument is graduated in Fahrenheit and Centigrade scales. It is the BOLDEST Standard Barometer made. The PRICE IS LOWER than that of any other form of Standard Barometer of the same dimensions.

It yields readings equally close as the highest priced instruments.

Price complete, mounted on handsome Polished Solid Mahogany Board, with Brackets for Suspension, and Opal Glass Reflectors,

£7 10s. Od.

SMALLER SIZE, "THE STUDENTS," designed for Schools for demonstration work, and small private Observatories; bore 25; reading to 01 inch and 1 millimetre. £3 7s. 6d.

METALLURGICAL LABORATORIES.

Sardinia Street, London, W.C.

WAVE-LENGTH SPECTROSCOPE

(LARGE MODEL.)

Measures wave-lengths direct to an accuracy of 1 Angström unit (one ten-millionth of a metre) from W. L. 3888 to W.L. 7724.

[graphic][subsumed][ocr errors]

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES.

The Collimator and Telescope are rigidly fixed at right angles, thus the instrument will stand in a corner, is always ready for use and in adjustment.

The wave-lengths can be read off by the observer without moving from his place.

The object glasses and prism are large (1 clear aperture), which enables the faintest visible lines to be seen.

The eyepiece has a bright pointer for measuring the W.L. of bright lines on a dark field.

Means are supplied of very simply setting the Zero, although on account of the great rigidity and careful construction throughout it may be used for many months without any setting being needed.
