Type the bath temperature for each ball minute by minute for the bottom and top samples, or leave the sheet empty to print a blank format. The last temperature typed for each ball is taken as the temperature at which it touched the bottom plate; the average of each sample and the difference in softening point between bottom and top are worked out as you type. Typed values are saved for this project.
