NARRATIVE
            Pascal's Vases are used to demonstrate that pressure in a liquid is a function of depth only. The vases are three differently shaped glass vessels which may be attached to a base which has a diaphragm sensitive to pressure. This is connected to a dial which indicates what this pressure is.
