MADE BY JAMES ADAMS, / .^ 4^

Montreal.

\u3

Permit me, while submitting to your
notice the within Reports, to say that the Instruments made by
me according to Sikes's Scale are of a shape less liable to
damage tiian the globular, more simple in their use, and less
costly than the English instruments; and also that I have
improved their finish and consequent accuracy since the date
of the first Report. — I am, Sir, yours obediently,

JAMES ADAMS.

Report of the Sub- Committee appointed bij the Montreal Committee of
Trade to examine Mr. Adams's Hydrometer.

In several experiments made with the instrument constructed by Mr.
Adams and one of Bates' Sikes's Hydrometers, the difference in the
result was found to be trivial.

The Committee a. jf opinion that for the general purposes of th«
trade in Canada, the Committee of Trade may with confidence recom-
mend " Adams's Hydrometer" as an useful instrument, particularly as
the low rate at which it can be afforded, places it within the reacJi of
all who may require it.

" Adams's Rule of comparative Values and Strengths," will be found
to be a most Valuable Scale, and should be in the hands of every one in
the Spirit Trade.

(Signed) J. W. DUNSCOMB,

Montreal, Oct. 30, 1833. Chairman Sub-Corn.

Feport of the Sub-Committee appointed by the Board of Trade to examine

Mr. Adams's Hydrometer.

After having made several experiments with Mr. Adams's Hydrometer,
and compared the result with J. Long's (Sikes's) Hydrometer, the
difference was found to be unimportant.

The Committee are of opinion that the Board of Trade may with
confidence recommend Mr. Adams's Hydrometer as an useful instrument,
more particularly on account of the great difference of those used in the
United States, as being more plain and simple, and not so liable te
deception. The difference is as follows, viz : — the American Proof is
16§ under Proof, and the American 100 over Proof is Q^ by the British
standard.

Mr. Adams's Rule of comparative Values and Strength will be found
to be a most valuable scale, and shoui.! ^e in the possession of every one
one engaged in the Spirit Trade.

(Signed) JOHN THOMSON,

Toronto, July Gth, 1841. Chairman Sub-Com.
