27、eath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the rooms three ey holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal. First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft,

28、alcohol-soaed cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1g cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose.
