The Handbook of Physics Measurements (Volume I)

Most of the experiments here given were printed privately some years ago and have since been in constant use, under our direction, by classes of from one to two hundred students each semester. They have all been carefully revised for the purposes of this volume. We are indebted to Mr. G. G. Becknell, Instructor in Physics in Purdue University, for the method we have adopted for solving the equation for the coefficient of expansion of a gas.
