Abstract
I SHALL be much obliged if any reader of NATURE will suggest a cement suitable for fastening the end discs to polarimeter tubes. The cement I should like to hear of should be capable of with standing the action of organic liquids at temperatures between 200°–300° Fusion of the discs to the tubes would, of course, be best, but would be almost certain to introduce strain. There is no great difficulty in working without cement ip to about 200°, but beyond the temperature at which rubber melts—and is, therefore, unsuitable for washers—the problem of keeping the liquid in its tube is by no means a simple one. Possibly someone engaged in work making similar demands may be able to assist me.
