1928 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 11 Feb. 215/1 The most frequent mistakes..are those of arithmetic, careless reading of the burette, [etc.]... Not the least advantage of the well kept notebook is that the titrator may leave his entries to be afterwards dealt with by another.

1964 Oceanogr. & Marine Biol. 2 103 Many commercially produced titrators would doubtless prove suitable for routine work of moderate accuracy.
