Excerpt from Encyclopaedia Britannica, or a Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature, Vol. 11: Enlarged and Improved For easier weighing the paper, take a picce of round tin or brass the size of a crown piece, through the centre of which drill a hole, and also three others round it at equal distances: then out about one hundred papers and after putting them under the tin or brass, drive though each bolea strong pin into a board, in order to round them to the shape of the plate: the pa rs must be then separated and exposed to the air a on hours svith that already weighed, and so many of them taken as are equal to the weight already spe rihed. This done, threadle them together through those holes made by the pins, potting between every paper, on each thread a small head, in orderte prevent the papers from touching each other, and also that the air may be more readily admitted. The top of the hygrometer is covered with a card cut to the same size; and which, by reason of its stillness, supports all the papers, and keeps them in proper shape. Before the papers are threaded, the beads, silk, card, and a thin piece of brass about the size of a sixpence, which must be placed at the bottom, and throu h which the centre string passes, must be weighed tsi the greatest exactness, in order to briu them to a certain Weight, suppose 5 '_ns now t e paper in its driest state being of equ weight, the trill weigh together too grains, consequently what t ey weigh more at any tints is moisture.
