Abstract
Methods for measuring the temperature and humidity of the air beneath the shirt are described.Conditions of temperature and humidity under the shirt are described, for a resting person, with external temperatures varying between 0° C. and 41° C., under different atmospheric humidities. The air beneath the shirt varied between 23° C. and 37° C., and 23 and 70 per cent. relative humidity. The saturation deficiency of the air beneath the shirt varied very little—only between 13 and 18 mm.—in all the observations taken.I am indebted to Dr P. A. Buxton for many helpful suggestions and for reading the manuscript. Also to Prof. G. H. F. Nuttall, F.R.S., for drawing my attention to literature on the earlier work.
