Simple vacuum technology for teachers

Abstract

As a result of the revisions at present being made to the science syllabus for schools, a large number of teachers in grammar and secondary modern schools are finding themselves involved for the first time in the mysteries of high vacuum. This article is intended as a guide to the practical aspects of obtaining and demonstrating high vacuum in schools. It contains a brief description of the workings of modern high vacuum pumps and gauges, together with some elementary ‘dos and don'ts’ of vacuum technique.
