(Harry H. Hull, "The Normal Forces and Their Ther...)

The elasticity as a parameter of fluids which is not subject_to simple measurement at_present , and it is a parameter which is probably varying in an unknown manner with many commercial materials .

Such an instrument is expected to be especially useful if it could be used to measure the elasticity of heavy pastes such_as printing_inks , paints , adhesives , molten plastics , and bread_dough , for the elasticity is related to those various properties termed `` length '' , `` shortness '' , `` spinnability '' , etc. , which are usually judged by subjective methods at_present .
