Mechanical pumps have a certain limit beyond which they cannot decrease the vacuum chamber pressure any further. So Dr. Hickman has designed a sort of chemical pump which goes to work after the mechanical pump has done its best. A spray of oil vapor is shot in one side of the chamber, out the other. Some of the gas molecules roaming inside are struck by the oil particles, adhere to them, are thus escorted outside through the oil vapor exit...
