Determining Mean Effective Pressure from indicator diagrams

Notes: "This is an Amsler Type 2 planimeter that was originally sold by the Boston office of Crosby Steam Gage & Valve Co. There is no multiplier wheel, so this planimeter was intended for measuring only small areas: steam indicator diagrams. The serial number is 31318, indicating a date of roughly 1900-1910."
