TH1<: RKQUIREMKxNTS OF PHYSICS 91 cupboards. A solid floor is more necessary for this than other departments,but as a rule special foundations arc not required. A few tables at whichnotes can be made should be provided, but these should be movable, and asmuch free space as possible retained for use when occasion arises, thoughsome machines will necessarily be fixtures in the central area of the labora-tory. Fig. 55 shows a plan of the mechanical laboratory at the BatterseaPolytechnic, which gives exceptionally full details of the apparatus used inthis department, For the determination of what is known as Youngsmodulus—which in a physical laboratory usually takes the form of measure-ment of the stretching of wires with various weights—a great length ofvertical wire is necessary. If, therefore, it can be arranged that a spacerunning through two or several stories is devoted to this experiment itwill be a great advantage. Little more than the area
