The capillary tube above this smaller bulb was generally ofwider bore and bent some four or live times away from the vertical, alter-natively right and left as shown; in order to still further reduce as much aspossible any irregularities or disturbances resulting from a too rapid sedimen-tation of the corpuscles at the bend joining the two limbs of the viscosimeter,the bend consisted of tubing of enlarged bore whilst the blood itself was wellmixed by previously bubbling a slow stream of air through it beforemeasuring the rate of flow.
