You can 'snow' a Torbal balance with pigment, abrasive dust, chemicals, or | any powder
Your Key to—
• Dramatic savings in archival space and dollars. •
Sometimes you can't help it. In certain weighing situations no matter how hard you try, a balance gets dirty from spilled or overflowing powders. Or from dust in the air. When this happens on a conventional knife-edge balance, the knife-edge ful crum becomes dirty—gets gummed up, and eventually wears. Increased fric tion, decreased sensitivity and inac curacy result. (In time even small amounts of dirt in the atmosphere will have this effect.) On the other hand, with a Torsion Balance based on fulcra which twist instead of roll, this cannot happen. There are no friction pivots or knifeedge fulcrum; thus no metal-to-metal wear, and the weighing mechanism
cannot be affected by foreign material. The balance will not become sluggish, it retains its initial accuracy and sensi tivity, and because of its virtually one-piece construction, adjustment is permanent. The Torbal DWL2 shown above is a 120-gram capacity balance with a dial accuracy of 5 mg.; silicon fluid damping for fast weighing; dials with 9 g χ 1 g, and 1 g x 0.01 g graduations, to eliminate use of small loose weights.

Balancing act? In the field of physical chemistry? O f course. The American Chemical Society's Journal of Physical Chemistry does it all the time. It maintains an excellent balance between reporting on classical areas of chemistry and very modern structural quantum mechanical areas. Preference is given to papers dealing w i t h fundamental aspects of atomic and molecular phenomena. Emphasis is placed on reportage of w o r k involving new con cepts—new techniques—and new interpretations. N o w appearing biweekly, the JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY'S forty or more articles per issue cover a w i d e range of subjects that are of interest to ALL physical chemists. You'll profit from the full articles, notes and communications pub lished in the journal . . . since only those w h i c h represent distinct contributions to the literature are accepted.
