s of diagrams very frequentlyencountered, in which the terminal pressure is con-siderably below the compression curve, and in order tocompute the consumption rate by the above method itbecomes necessary to continue the compression curvedownwards until it meets the terminal, as illustratedat A, Fig.… … I CuI B FlGURE 110 by the M. E. P., which was 7 lbs., gives 44.6 lbs. asthe uncorrected rate. The distance D to A, wherethe compression curve intersects the consumption line,is 2.625 in., and the total length of the diagram C to Dis 3.375 in. Then 44.6 x 2.625 - 3.375 = 35 lbs. as thecorrected…
