The maximum water pressure for which provis-ion has been made is 600 pounds per square inch, which,for a piston area of 2,039 inches, produces a total strainupon the test piece of 1,223,400 pounds, under the assump-tion, which is believed permissible, that the resistance dueto friction is sufficiently small to be neglected. For thepurpose of facilitating observations, it is intended thatthe cylinder should have an etiective area of e.\actly 2,000square inches, so that one pound upon the gauges wouldindicate a ton of pressure,
