The vacuum tubes were specially constructed to furnish a high constancy of current flow, eliminate all noise except the minute munchings of the weevils in their microcosms, and the whole was enclosed in a soundproof, rubber-mounted metal case. When a container of wheat free of weevils was substituted for the infested grain, the apparatus remained silent...
