%X Large free liquid volumes, 30 mm in diameter and 80 mm long, anchored to coaxial discs, have been achieved during a sounding-rocket flight. As these flights provide some six minutes of microgravity and the formation of the liquid column takes only a matter of seconds, ample time is left for experimentation. The results of these trials are presented, and the equipment used to obtain them is briefly described.
