The meteorology department is already planning to modify and improve the equipment in order to make more accurate observations through a wider range of conditions. TOTAL COST of the project was less than $25, according to Mr. Dickson. In comparison he went on to say, the University of Chicago spent well over a million dollars to build a rotating pan system. While there is no comparing the two systems, Mr. Dick'on said, "we were able to profit extheir through greatly periences in building the device. WE ARE, HOWEVER, able to perform a variety of useful experiments. We are starting to build another unit and it should be even better than the first model. But, you say, its impossible to engineer and build useful scientific instruments at low cost? Dont tell it to the Department of Meteorology. Theyll just quote that famous old line, The difficult we do immediately, the takes just a little impossible longer. CORNINGWEAR 1 dance.

Presto, a total when finances block the will, ingenuity provides the way. They proceeded to build one. Construction of the device was accomplished during the 1962 spring quarter by students in Mr. Dicksons class on meteorological instruments. A LENGTH OF GLASS tubing was fused to a Pyrex bowl and a glass cutter was hired to add screw-ogrooves at the open end. The device was filled with water and a e nipple (minus the holes) and cap was used to close the open end. The nipple was also ideal to serve is that warm air tends to rise, but as it cools, it tends to become heavier and falls downward.
