A passage about rags says that “the water runs clear and unsullied, a bleaching material is put into the mass, which in the course of from two to six hours becomes as white as milk”. A passage with numbered equations says that “the 293,000 J. of energy in equation (2) made themselves felt as flame, as heat and mechanical force”.
