v asE,ing Tests

In putting this diminutive wash
my machine to practical use in the
Institute laboratory, three washings,
varying in size and degree Of drti-
ness, were run.
The first washing tested the manu-
facturcr's claim of capacity, viz,
that the machine would easily carry
five sheet load To make this test
load of this amount (7.5 pounds)
was put into the machine. The
clothes had been soaked an hour and
comprised mixture of slightly
soiled and very dirty pieces. At the
end of the fifteen-minute wash,
which is average time, only the
slightly soiled articles were clean.
Even at the end Of twenty minutes
the others were not clean. This
showed that the machine was over
crowded.
A smaller washing, three sheets
(about two pounds and a half less)
was used in the second run. Time,
temperature Of the water and soap
were tho same as for the first test,
and even with this smaller load the
machine did not do the excellent
work that it did when two sheets
(about 8 Il pounds) were run on the
third test.
The third washing consisted Of

A Reliable Indicator

The Tycos YVES tested and com
pared with g high-grade mercury
thermometer for accuracy. A devi-
alton Of less than half a degree was
found in testing the Thermometer
from one end Of The scale TO the
other. However, there are tempera-
ture limits with this thermometer,
and with water as hot as l30 de
grees the Tycos gives way under
The strain. Ordinarily the limit Of
$50 degrees would not be reached,
for water from the tap in the In
stitute kitchen flowed for only few
minutes at ITO degrees and then
dropped below that. For ordinary
bath purposes the Tscos will serve
we'll.
After soaking fer several hours
in warm water the wood had ab-
sorbed but q very small amount and
the grain had raised slightly or
either side of the hole in the handle.
There was no peeling of the enamel,
however. Such a test is a severe
one, and normal usage would not be
so hard on it.
