| Description | Lodge describes a channel of mercury conveying a current which tends which swell outwards and, if straight, stretched and thins. He sketches how it looks under the microscope when a strong current is applied to mercury in two pools with a channel between. He then describes four pools with a cruciform channel between, giving the shape of the mercury in cross-section. He sends these particulars not knowing if they will be useful to Larmor or not. |
