He saw her arms stretched out, and the white gleam of the basin, then, the haemorrhage, jet after jet.

The vertical component p of any pressure P may be ascertained by the formula p = P sin alpha, where alpha is the angle made by a jet against a surface; and in order to test the accuracy of the simple machinery employed for these researches, the oblong jet which gave 71 unit when impinging vertically upon a circular plate, was directed at 60 deg.
