Apparatus used to illustrate the principle "that a quantity of fluid however small may be made to counterpoise a quantity of fluid however large." The experiments using this apparatus, or one similar to it, are described in almost every early treatise on natural philosophy. The cylindrical water contained is in position. The funnel shaped container is threaded so that it can replace the cylindrical one.Collection
