NARRATIVE
        The Manometer consists of a V-Tube with colored water and a rubber hose connected to one side of the V-Tube and the other to a thistle tube.

        To determine the pressure of compressed air, invert the thistle tube and slowly push it into a cylinder of water. The manometer will indicate increased pressure at increasing depths.
