XII. An account of an experiment touching the proportions of the ascent of spirit of wine between two glass planes, whose surfaces were plac'd at certain different distances from each other

Abstract

I Took two Glass Planes, about 6 inches long, and two broad: These (being made clean) I separated at each end by the number of 32 pieces of Brass Laminæ , whose thickness, when laid one upon another, and press'd together by Screws, made a distance between the Planes equal to (as near as I could measure) 1/16 of an Inch.
