Be it is marked of with marks that a graduated so to provide accurate measurements.

One source states that the word graduated became a popular name due to the method of making the Cylinder. Pre-Measured containers would hold fluid (1 oz ea. as example). And because glass tubes were never uniform in width from top to bottom (some are designed that way - like beakers) , they would pour in one pre-measured container at a time. Mark the new level and then repeat until done.

it was a graduated process gradually performed. Hence Graduated Container.

Its not uncommon to see that the graduated lines are not spaced equally apart on these containers. check the measuring cup at home. The curved bottom was taken in account when the glass was graduated at the factory. Where one portion at a time marking is not used much anymore except in Laboratory grade or custom equipment.
