Measure fnr HIrsea

A method for measuring the area of
hides by means of air pressure has
been recently patented. The measur-
ing instrument consists of a table top
with many small holes in it, spaced at
regular intervals, mounted on a fun
mel base, through which, and through
the holes in the top, a suction fan
draws air. The hide, when placed on
the table, reduces the cross-section Of
the air current and so produces rare
faction Of the air. which In turn ere
ates a subpressure that can be meas
ured from the combined readings Of
a vacuum gauge and a tachometer-
an instrument that registers the We
locity Of air currents.
