Results: The results obtained are shown in Table 1, which show values of pressure ranging from 2.9 to 38.7 ounces per square inch. The load data is presented as the mean of the two readings ± the range either side of the mean. The area of the transducer is defined as the 'effective' area ± an estimate of the accuracy in visually observing the 'effective' area. The positions of the relevant lymph vessels and nodes are shown in Figure 1, which also shows the position of the bra superimposed over the diagram. The positions of measuring points on the bra are also shown in the photo, Figure 2. The experimental data was obtained using the force meters shown in Figure 3.
