Abstract
THE first section of this book contains a practical and useful account of high-temperature ovens and enclosures and low-temperature baths, and of methods of temperature measurement. The second section deals with the liquefaction of gases. It includes a summary of the most important experiments on the Joule-Kelvin effect, and a descriptive account of the methods used at Leyden and at the Reichsanstalt for the production of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium. Unfortunately, the proof-readers of this part have overlooked a considerable number of algebraical errors and inconsistencies.
