 cause an elongation of .1 of a millimeter. 



The following tables of data and results obtained by using this simple 

 Jolly balance are self explanatory. They are given not because of any 

 new principle contained in them, but because of the extreme accuracy 

 shown— accuracy seemingly out of all proportion to the care with which 

 the apparatus was constructed.
