Excerpt from The Relation of Firmness to Ripeness of Eastern-Grown Apples

In using figure 17 with a given lot of apples it is necessary to con sider the range of firmness within the lot rather than just the aver age pressure test for the lot. For example, a lot of Ben Davis apples might have an average pressure test of pounds but with extremes of 14 to Thus, although the average is~in the firm range, as shown in figure 17 some of the apples would fall in the firm-ripe range and some would be intermediate in ripeness. Such a lot would be classed as firm to firm ripe, possibly mostly firm.

A pressure - test range for overripe apples is not given in figure 17. Apples were not generally considered overripe unless they showed signs of break-down, and the pressure test would be of little value in indicating this, as many apples showed break-down although in the upper limits of the ripe stage in firmness.
