Research and Test Apparatus

The results of an experiment are frequently more tedious to interpret than the experiment is to conduct. Faced with a growing ‘result analysis’ problem—as are many scientists today—physicists at the Thornton, Cheshire, Research Centre of ‘Shell’ Research Ltd. have developed a new trace reader, which is proving of considerable value in reducing both time and fatigue in the analysis of data displayed as a changing variable—such as pressure against, say, time on a moving paper trace.
