This paper discusses several mechanical improvements on the Goodner mercury volumeter, which include a counter‐balance for the burette, an automatic light system, and a plunging device. The construction, operation, and advantages of the plunging device are discussed. The advantages of the mechanism are (1) no string or string marks, (2) cleaner mercury, (3) no bulky weight to be deftly handled, (4) less handling of briquets, and (5) more ease and speed in operation.
