Where pumping action,—
that say, acceleration retardation
of fluid movement other than circularly 85
with the primary element,—takes place
the deflections increase more rapidly than
the speed.

In calibrating necessary make but
one observation comparative with some posi- 130

from the preceding, uniform instru
ment best embodying invention, may 115
be graduated that each degree corresponds
to certain number revolutions per unit
of time, and for convenience, (in shaft-speed
indicators herein shown), the constant
is made round number, 100.
In order that the torque should vary rigor
ously the speed, the fluid particles the
minute channels between the rotating and 70
pivoted members should move circles and
not spirals, necessarily would the
case device which pumping action
could take place, and either making
both the primary and secondary elemente 75

structed and conditioned that air may not

are capillary molecular and wholly dif
ferent principle from those taking place 110
in pumping device which the fluid
masses are alternately retarded and accele
rated. Experience has demon
strated that when the space very narrow,

To appreciate this, should borne in
mind that the resistance circular strip
of the active area would, under such con- 95
ditions, proportionate the fourth power
of the diameter that slight compression
and attendant increase density the

cause noticeable departure from rigorous 10(
