A form of Pirani vacuum gauge is described for obtaining a continuous record of the total residual pressure in a high-vacuum serum-drying cylinder of the Greaves-Adair type. The circuit incorporates an automatic relay which breaks the electric current heating the frozen serum if the pressure rises to a dangerous level, and so delays materially the onset of fusion of the serum.
