N2  - A technique used in flotation research for contact angle measurements is recommended for wider use. The effect of one aspect of surface roughness on the relative motion of fluid/solid systems is discussed. The function of the water vapour present in the gas phase adjacent to the line of triple contact is examined. A claim of the Russian school of surface chemists is questioned, namely, that a discrete film of water on the solid surface invariably dominates both hysteresis and contact angle.
