" 'On a machine for solving equations', by M. Georges Meslin. The machine consists of a balance carrying upon its beams at varying distances from the point of support a series of solids of revolution, partially immersed in a liquid...."--Nature, June 14, 1900, p 579. (Interesting to note here that two thermo papers by Meslin are reviewed by Einstein in his big year of 1905.)
