No anemometer thus far devised can record the discharge of air through these holes with a sufficient degree of accuracy for comparison purposes, but the air discharged must be measured for checking; this problem is intimately connected with the problem of collecting and analyzing a sample of the discharged air, for our funda- mental assumption is that the large proportion of the air will be dis- charged into the room free, but a small sample must be collected for analysis. To assume that there will be constancy in the discharge of. Fig. 12.—View from above of top of absorption table of group respiration chamber.

To dis- charge a definite volume of air against atmospheric pressure and simultaneously collect it presents a new problem. COLLECTION OF AIR SAMPLE. The collection of the sample of air from the aliquoting device deliv- ered against atmospheric pressure is not unlike an earher experience in the development of the respiration calorimeter at Wesleyan Uni- versity.
