pressure. It will be noticed that the average pressure coefficient shows 

 greater variation with temperature than does that of manganin, and the 

 variations are in fact greater than the variations of resistance itself. 

 The resistance passes through a maximum in the neighborhood of 75°, 

 the increase between 0° and 75° being 0.120%, and between 0° and 

 100° 0.104%, whereas the average pressure coefficient continues to 

 increase over the entire range between 0° and 100°. The instantane- 

 ous coefficient at kg., however, passes through a maximum between 

 0° and 100°.
