This shows a series of polygonal cells, in each of which the motion was do'ft'nward at the centre, upward at the outer margin, and inward at the top. In addition, there are some long rolls which fill the chamber when the smoke is first injected, and which gradually break up into separate polygonal cells. This feature was particularly noticeable in all chamber depths of 8

This feature was particularly noticeable in all chamber depths of 8 mm or more, but eventually the long rolls were replaced by poly- gonal cells.
