This becomes an indispensable de- 

 vice in every physiological laboratory 

 after its- first trial. It is impossible to 

 give equal conditions to all plants in a 

 standing series of cultures. For the 

 proper standardization of Atmometer 

 Cups it has been found absolutely nec- 

 essary. The table-top is circular, 4 feet 

 in diameter, of 5-ply wood, and is 

 mounted on a bicycle wheel, which is 

 supported on a heavy iron tripod base. 

 It is rotated by a belt from a reducing 

 gear, which is operated by a 1/20 H. P. electric motor or other sources of 

 power. A hot-air engine or small gas engine would also serve. A good speed 

 of rotation for most purposes is from 1/5 to 5 revolutions per minute. See Plant 

 World 15: 157-162, 1912; Physiological Researches 1: 345- 1915.
