The Recording Ultramicrometer

Abstract

THE recording ultramicrometer was first very briefly described before the Royal Dublin Society (Royal Dublin Society, xvi. p. 185, March 1921; cf. also NATURE, June 23, 1921, vol. 107, p. 523). Since its exhibition at the Edinburgh meeting of the British Association many short accounts of it have appeared in England and abroad. Many correspondents have requested further information, and, as some time may elapse before a full account of my investigations in this connexion are published, I take this opportunity of giving some practical hints to enable others to set up the apparatus.
