They are old things beautiful? Sometimes it certainly yes. After Denmark travels quite a lot of veterans. Today I saw a need Citroën 2CV, known by the nickname Duck, then there is a lot of VW Beetles and even other vehicles as interesting. I saw here an amazing Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II, which according to wikipedia began production in 1977.
But a lot of old things in our country in the lab and do not have the charm of Rolls-Royce. And not even the Ducks. Maybe a ball mill without any safety fuses, elderly-speed polisher, prorezavělá centrifuge from which it is poured rust (in samples) and other things. AAS, where about 10 years no one did not measure, device for determining the surface by BET in the same condition as AAS, many different ovens and plenty of smaller shops and junk, which had for a long time no one touched. When a person needs, it is necessary to get rid of dust, rust and maybe then there is a chance that just will not work.
My German colleague just trying to put into operation the vacuum residue, which lay in a heap of dust and junk very, very long time. Maybe a bath heating measuring weight either so old or so broken that constantly off RCD in fuse. At least the protector works. German tried other heaters that found it. It does not itself fuses, but after switching from it goes black smoke. It has to be electric heater, but it looks like that will stoke the flame and not too long.
This again I can not make an analytical balance to weigh. Weight continues to decline, although the weighting of votes stable condition. In a few minutes the difference in milligrams per hour to do that for tens of milligrams. If you weigh 20 mg is a big mistake. Here, the balance of 2001, but if I had to quote Pulp Fiction, experienced about the Middle Ages. I moved it from a totally unsuitable location for windows, heating and hoods in the middle of the lab, where there are no drafts or temperature gradients, but just do not appreciate. And I thoroughly cleaned from all the chemical abominations that to them over the years caught. They are such scales at which weighs where to start, so why were they not appreciate, and the result is that they do not appreciate.
Then I searched reference measuring weight electrode. I found a straightaway measuring weight three calomel, in which not a single drop of electrolyte. I understand that transitioning to solid electrolytes, but this one was too hard (for the interested, that sentence could be slightly humorous). Two electrodes were in a beaker with beautiful crystals KCl, the third is just lying around in a drawer. In addition to the bottle of electrolyte replacement. Unfortunately also fixed. measuring weight The bottle is put through the crystals used just as a maraca.
Also closet with chemicals hides real archival pieces. If he would rather measuring weight put the barrels of whiskey! This would have at least some value. I took a plastic bottle of KCl, so I did electrolyte, and just as I took it and cracked plastic. Now it's a hole in the bottle, half the plastic pieces on the floor and the other half in the KCl. Incidentally, the plastic was so numb only the bottle with KCl. I've destroyed two jets today because I was trying to unscrew the upper part. Immediately burst. For the other jets do the same.
