31、 圓柱體 ） restson a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest onlyoccasionally disturbed when the rooms three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony tolet technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbe

32、d with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed withpure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose.
