Dr. T. A. Geissman
107 Engineering Bldg.
University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia 4, Pennsylvania
Dear Dr. Geissman:
I do not know a great deal about the practical methods
of measuring the lipoid level in the fractionating column as
suggested in your letter of November 10, but I think that a
technique might be developed along the lines which you indicate.
The magnetic susceptibility of liquid oxygen at -200º C. is about
300 x 10-8 (volume susceptibility), and that of the gas is about
one thousandth of this, so that the difference is significant.
The values for liquid air are about one-fifth as great. I suppose
that if the fractionating columns are made of steel the magnetic
method would not be easily applicable. Otherwise, it might be
useful, and I suggest that you talk it over with some one in your
Physics Department. If you want to send me a detailed description
of the fractionating column, I would be glad to look into the
matter further.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling
