Abstract
UNDER this title, Ronald Belcher and Cyril E. Spooner1 have described an apparatus for the combustion of organic compounds, consisting of a combustion tube which is not filled with any contact material. The authors refer to their previous publication of a similar macro-method2, and state that they “originated this unpacked tube technique for the ultimate analysis of Coal”, and further say that “so far as we are aware this was the first use of an unpacked tube for this purpose, and we have now adapted it to the micro-scale”.
