Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the saturation temperature of a given substance dissolved in a solution under test, based on the principle that the change in the temperature of the solution causes a specific change in the amount of light being passed through the solution. The accuracy of the determination of saturation temperature is augmented by passing a preheated air through an empty space formed between the test cell and the air seal glass thereby precluding otherwise possible formation of dew-condensation on the air seal glass. This invention is characterized by forming a thin layer of fine crystals of the substance deposited fast on the bottom face of the test cell and pouring the solution onto the thin layer in the test cell.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing paper tubes assembly for nursing seedlings in which pasted, cut pieces are transferred, piled and stuck together, the apparatus includes paste supplying mean which intermittently supplying to a flattened hollow paper tube or paper tape by means of cam mechanism, suction conveyer device conveying cut pieces cut from said flattened hollow tube or said paper tape and rotary transfer means which opposed arms are radically mounted around two rotary discs respectively, non-rotary carrier table and rotary carrier table simultaneously rotate with said arm revolution are supported between edge of said opposed arms on every other one said arm, said non-rotary and rotary carrier table keep horizontal while said arms revolute.
