What he said here is: CHRONOMETRING THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT FILLED UP A RESERVOIR OF 1 LITER. Pretty sure that means: Measuring the time it takes for the water to fill a 1 liter container. They did that as well as keeping track of the weight of water lost from the reservoir. They could only do that at the end of the hose before steam generation began. It is a good idea to measure key parameters using a variety of methods. "Chronometering" is not standard English but perhaps it is how you say this in Italian. The meaning is clear.
