Plant Physiology
Respiroscope, Simple
Compact unit to compare rates of absorption or evolution of gases by small organisms during respiration. Two stoppered boiling tubes are connected by three-way taps at either end of a manometer. One tube holds the organisms and has a syringe for altering level of liquid in the manometer during setting up. The other tube acts as a control thermo-barometer.

Plant Physiology
Rotating Disc Auxanometer
To measure plant growth rate. The recording arm 600 mm with a bristle tip at one end is mounted on an adjustable pillar enabling alteration of height and pressure of the bristle on a disc of 200 mm dia. The other end of the arm has three eyes to give x3, x4, x5 magnifications. A smoked disc is mounted on a circular plate which is clamped to a motor spindle, & has a central pin to prevent the lever passing the center. The disc rotates at a speed of one revolution per hour.

Rotating Drum Auxanometer
Records growth of a plant as a series of horizontal traces, the gap between which represents one hour’s growth. The recording lever has 3 notches giving x5, x7 and x10 magnifications and is mounted on an adjustable pillar to adjust its height and pressure on the pencil tip. The recording drum has a pull-through vertical slot which enables the lever to take up the slack in its thread and then draw a new trace at a lower level, on base. Lever is 680 mm and drum is 300 x 150 mm, circumference x-height. With paper strips, pencil, motor for drum, working on 220 / 240 V AC.
