Examples

“1880? William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, Heat under a constant pressure of one atmo”

“In this case, at a pressure of one atmo, the quantity of gas absorbed by one gramme of water is .875 gramme at 0°C.”

“Now the above change of ratio is established at a pressure about 2.5/10⁶ atmo as given by log. dec., when the mean free path of a molecule of air ought to be about 10⁶ × .00001 ÷ 2.5 centim. or 4 centim., which is about the radius of the bulb.”
