The same test was repeated, with all the conditions similar except that
the temperature of the room was raised to 38° C. (= 100° F.) before the
oil was placed on the glass; but the glass was allowed to remain in this
temperature also for 30 minutes.
The results of both experiments are shown in table IX.

While the relative viscosity of oils in varying high temperatures is
shown in table IX, the width of the track indicates the same properties
as were explained in reference to table VII. Thus it is seen that the
third and fifth columns of figures denote the relative adhesion of the
oils, approximately according to the value of the figures; while the
fourth and sixth columns exhibit their relative cohesion, and absence of
adhesion, approximately according to the inverse value of the figures.
Thus the tendency of the oil to spread, in the warm temperature to
which time keeping mechanisms are frequently subjected, is indicated.
