Measurement of ventilation, is of importance both in the design and control of heating and ventilating systems. In addition, the rates of ventilation actually obtaining constitute an important factor in any quantitative studies of air-borne infection. Measurements of ventilation have, however, not been made as often as was desirable: partly, at least, owing to the lack of a convenient method.
