โฆ Synopsis
The aim of the work was to develop a pressure control system which could maintain the vapour pressure over the surface of liquefied gas in a cryostat within the range 760 to 5 mm Hg to an accuracy no worse than 0.03 mm for at least 30 min, while the evaporation rate varied from 0.5 cm 3 s "1 to 100 cm 3 s "1.
Existing regulators, described by Walker, 1 diaphragm, 2 and bellows 3 regulators are not suitable for maintaining a fixed pressure for even small changes in gas flow (evaporation rates) from a cryostat, quite apart from the fact that the statement of the problem presupposes large pressure changes in the cryostat.

Various bounds are related to suboptimal solutions for problems in which applying control or taking measurements is costly, and there are special cases where an exact solution may be easily computed.
