"Many years ago Dr. Trovers eom pressed helium to one sixtieth of 4ts bulk at Plus fourteen absolute. To hav - carried his experiments beyond this snd up to th solidifying stag would have cost 1600 more. Considering that tha result was unlikely to give him any f radical advantage, he want no for her In his experiment. "Prof. Ohnes. In his experiments. . reached the lowest temperature evoi known.
