The article gave a quick explanation of what Coriolis force is, who discovered it and how viscosity is defined. Hebert explained how different liquids such as tar, syrup, water, gasoline and even ketchup have different viscosities.
When the article was published, Endress+Hauser had just published a research report that resulted in the introduction of direct viscosity measurement in the company's Promass 83 I line.
