Excerpt from A Manual of the Barometer: Containing an Explanation of the Construction and Method of Using the Mercurial Barometer, With Appropriate Tables for Corrections for Temperature, and Rules for Obtaining the Dew-Point and the Heights of Mountains; To Which Are Added, an Original Table O

The curious may amuse themselves with the action of the weight of the atmosphere in the following manner: Take a glass tube of uniform bore, open at both ends; fit a cork to it, and cement a wire into the cork, which will form a piston to the tube; place the piston even with the lower end of the tube; and in that situation place the same end of the tube in mercury; hold the tube steadily and pull up the piston the mercury will follow the piston, and will fill that part of the tube Which is below the piston. By this means the weight of the atmosphere is removed from off the mercury, which is forced into the tube as far as the piston, by the weight of the atmosphere on the rest of the surface of the mercury in the basin; when the mercury in the tube balances the weight. Of the atmosphere, it remains stationary; and on pulling the piston higher, the space between it and the mercury is called a vacuum, or space void of air.

Descrizione libreria

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
