Publisher's Synopsis
""A Comparison of Rowland's Mercury Thermometers with a Calendar-Griffiths' Platinum Thermometer"" is a scientific publication written by Charles William Waidner Jr. and originally published in 1898. The book focuses on the comparison of two types of thermometers: Rowland's Mercury Thermometers and Calendar-Griffiths' Platinum Thermometers. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of the comparison between the two types of thermometers. The first chapter provides an introduction to the topic and explains the purpose of the study. The second chapter discusses the construction and calibration of the two types of thermometers. The third chapter focuses on the experimental methods used to compare the thermometers, including the techniques used to measure temperature and the conditions under which the experiments were conducted. The fourth chapter presents the results of the comparison, including tables and graphs that illustrate the differences between the two types of thermometers. The fifth chapter provides a discussion of the results and their implications, including a comparison of the accuracy and precision of the two types of thermometers. The final chapter concludes the book with a summary of the findings and recommendations for future research in the field. Overall, ""A Comparison of Rowland's Mercury Thermometers with a Calendar-Griffiths' Platinum Thermometer"" is a detailed and comprehensive study of two important types of thermometers. It provides valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each type of thermometer, and it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of temperature measurement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
