TL;DR: In this paper, an X-Y recorder is used to plot turbidity versus temperature, and a parameter determined from the plot is correlated with a measure of molecular weight distribution determined on known samples for each type polymer by another means.
Abstract: A rapid method for determining the molecular weight distribution of polymers has been the aim of polymer chemists for a long time. The method presented here requires less than two hours, including dissolution of the polymer. It is an extension of a photoelectric turbidimetric technique presented by Taylor and Tung in 1961. The equipment has been completely redesigned and presently consists of a copper block containing a turbidity cell, optical system and attendant electronic circuitry for measuring relative changes in turbidity of polymer solutions as a function of temperature. An X–Y recorder is used to plot turbidity versus temperature. A parameter determined from the plot is correlated with a measure of molecular weight distribution determined on known samples for each type polymer by another means. Based on this correlation unknown samples may be analyzed. The instrument is easy to operate and has shown excellent stability over a two year period. Polymers studied by this technique include ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR), polypropylene, polyethylene, and butyl, however, the only results to be reported here are those on ethylene-propylene copolymer.

TL;DR: The rapid growth of the oil industry and the high profits derived by the more fortunate land and royalty owners from the oil which is so often found by drilling on hitherto relatively worthless land, have so preyed on the imagination of some would-be inventors and miracle men, that hardly a month passes without news of the invention of a purportedly reliable oil finder as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The rapid growth of the oil industry, and the high profits derived by the more fortunate land and royalty owners from the oil which is so often found by drilling on hitherto relatively worthless land, have so preyed on the imagination of some would‐be inventors and miracle men, that hardly a month passes without news of the invention of a purportedly reliable oil finder. Fantastic claims are usually made for these devices and methods; thus, it is claimed to be possible to predict the gravity, quantity of oil, thickness of the oil sand or sands and their depths, as well as the presence and quantity of such useful minerals as salt, sulphur, and potash. It is supposed that in other parts of the country, the same devices would be equally useful in prospecting for gold, silver and other metals.
