Re: 1930 Tensio-Meter?

A tensiometer measures soil moisture density, or how much water is in a sample of soil.

The device the use to measure the surface tension of a liquid substance is also called a tensiometer, but I don't think you'd just find one in the bottom of a tool box as it is usually mounted on a table in a laboratory.

Just curious, did your grandfather ever work for the agriculture department?
