ious calibration, as are also the volumes between A and variouslevels of the mercury in AB. A scale of volumes is attached to AB,zero of the scale being at A. In using the gauge, the level of the mercury is first adjusted so asto be lower than C ; the whole of the space above the mercurysurface is… … raising of the cistern ultimately produces the result shown in Fig. 422,in which the mercury surface is at K, and the entrapped gas hasbeen compressed to a volume V as shown by the scale of volumes. The mercury level in FG is now at L, and isstill subjected to the pressure which it is in-tended to…
